`An academically significant and visually delightful book.'
--The Bookseller, August 2010

Product Description
The British architect James Frazer Stirling (1924-1992) stimulated impassioned responses among both supporters and detractors, and he continues to be the subject of fierce debate. He earned international renown through such innovative and frequently controversial projects as the Leicester University Engineering building (1959-63); the History Faculty building at Cambridge University (1964-67); the Neue Staatsgalerie, Stuttgart (1977-84); the Clore Gallery at Tate Britain (1984); and the Arthur M. Sackler Museum at Harvard University (1979-84). Stirling was also a visiting professor at the Yale School of Architecture where he trained and influenced many of the current leaders in the field. Fully illustrated with previously unpublished documents and new photography from the James Stirling/Michael Wilford Archive at the Canadian Centre for Architecture, Montreal, this book allows for a close examination of design drawings, photographs, and models spanning Stirling's entire career. These materials deepen our understanding of the influences, early formation, approach, and process of an architect whose work resists labelling. Filled with in-depth analytical and critical presentations of exemplary projects and their reception, the volume reveals Stirling to be a remarkably informed and consistent thinker and writer on architecture.

Vidler's James Stirling's Archive
16 Feb 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Anthony Vidler's volume on James Stirling's Archive is a first-rate review/summation of the consummate 20th century architect's work. James Stirling was a briliant yet sometimes unappreciated talent- Vidler's work will further fortify those of us who have always been attentive to his contributions. In the 1970's many of those of us who had graduated from Architectural school looked to JS's theory and work as inspirational and instructive- on a level with masters of the art such as Alvar Aalto and Aldo van Eyck. Stirling's work should continue to inspire today's graduates who need the example of earlier masters to help them find their own best way- Vidler's volume should be of great help to each of them as they begin their careers.
Thanks for your circulation of this important work.
