Peñalver’s op/ed in the Washington Post , and elicited comments here , here , here , h ere , here , and here . Now, Philip Bess, author of Till We Have Built Jerusalem: Architecture, Urbanism, and the Sacred , and the Director of Graduate Studies at the University of Notre Dame School of Architecture, has written a long response . The entire exchange is worth checking out.
