Product Description
It seems remarkable that to date there has been no published critical review of the complete works of Alison and Peter Smithson. This fact was pointed out by the audience at a symposium dedicated to their work, which was held at the University of Bath in October 1994. As a response to this obvious omission and to the demand for information, especially from the younger generation of architects, this book gathers the papers given at the A+PS Symposium, together with an essay on their buildings and projects, and additional documentary and bibliographical information, with the aim of providing the first collection of critical writing on the work of the Smithsons.
Synopsis
Alison and Peter Smithson were responsible for three of the most inspired Hunstanton School, Norfolk (1950-54), the Economist Building, London (1964) and housing at Robin Hood Gardens, London (1964). This book is a critique of their work and the influence of this partnership in British architecture.
