Sinopsis

James Stirling (1924-1992) was, arguably, the most influential and controversial post-war British architect. StirlingâÇÖs reputation is based primarily on such seminal buildings as the Leicester University Engineering Building (1959-63, with James Gowan), at one end of his career, and the Neue Staatsgalerie Stuttgart (1977-83, with Michael Wilford) at the other. Although he denied both labels, his work is seen as central to New Brutalism and Post-Modernism and his buildings attracted commentary and theory from the leading architectural thinkers of the day (including Frampton, Tafuri, Eisenman and Banham). Despite his significance, however, there has been very little recent research or creative re-interpretation of his work. This fascinating insight into StirlingâÇÖs work presents previously unavailable writings by him as well as new research on his early career, including:âÇÖThe Black NotebookâÇÖá- the journal he kept in the mid-1950sthe recorded talk he gave to the âÇÖTeam 10âÇÖ group in 1962, as well as the discussion that followed that talk three sets of notes for lectures he gavean interview with Stirling and Gowanessaysáby the editor placing the texts in the context of StirlingâÇÖs early work and discussing StirlingâÇÖs relation to Le Corbusier.Profusely illustrated, with many photographs taken by Stirling himself, this book gives fresh understanding of StirlingâÇÖs early career and the reasons why avant-garde architecture in post-war Britain became so widely influential outside the country.
