78. Irreplaceable
Kevin Kelley, a self-described “attention architect,” is a
co-founding partner of design firm Shook Kelley and author of Irreplaceable: How to Create Extraordinary Places That Bring People Together. In our digitized world of ghost commerce, he believes there is still a place for real places, and that it is incumbent on architects to stop looking down their noses
at retail, the essential lubricant of urban life, and start designing places that matter.
