{"product_id":"james-stirling-paperback-softback","title":"James Stirling - Paperback \/ softback","description":"\u003cp\u003eJames Stirling (1924-1992) was, arguably, the most influential and controversial post-war British architect. Stirling’s 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fascinating insight into Stirling’s work presents previously unavailable writings by him as well as new research on his early career, including:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cli\u003e'The Black Notebook' – the journal he kept in the mid-1950s\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe recorded talk he gave to the 'Team 10' group in 1962, as well as the discussion that followed that talk \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cli\u003ethree sets of notes for lectures he gave\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cli\u003ean interview with Stirling and Gowan\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cli\u003eessays by the editor placing the texts in the context of Stirling’s early work and discussing Stirling’s relation to Le Corbusier.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eProfusely illustrated, with many photographs taken by Stirling himself, this book gives fresh understanding of Stirling’s early career and the reasons why avant-garde architecture in post-war Britain became so widely influential outside the country.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45600684998894,"sku":"9780415550598","price":67.19,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780415550598.jpg?v=1721476582","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/james-stirling-paperback-softback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
