Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good dustjacket. 0714822043. With b/w frontispiece, plates & illustrations. Ex-libris label of James Stirling on front pastedown. Slight wear to spine, covers, corners & dustjacket.; Sir James Frazer Stirling was born on April 22, 1926, in Glasgow, Scotland. He grew up in Liverpool, England, where he attended the Quarry Bank High School. Stirling served in the Black Watch during World War II before studying architecture at the University of Liverpool School of Architecture, graduating in 1950. After working with influential architects like Lyons Israel Ellis and Partners, Stirling established a partnership with James Gowan in 1956. Together, they formed the practice Stirling and Gowan, gaining recognition for projects like the Engineering Building at the University of Leicester (1959–1963). This building showcased their innovative approach, combining functionalism with a bold aesthetic, featuring red brick and glass in striking geometries. In 1963, Stirling parted ways with Gowan and started his own practice. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, he became known for his large-scale public buildings and university projects, such as: The History Faculty Library at the University of Cambridge (1964–1968): Notable for its glass-enclosed reading rooms and open-plan design. The Florey Building at Queen's College, Oxford (1966–1971): A student residence hall with a distinctive curved facade overlooking the River Cherwell. Stirling's work evolved over the years, incorporating elements of postmodernism. His later projects include: Neue Staatsgalerie in Stuttgart, Germany (1977–1984): Considered one of his masterpieces, this art museum blends classical references with modern forms, featuring colorful stone cladding and dynamic spatial arrangements. Clore Gallery at the Tate Britain in London (1980–1987): Designed to house the works of J. M. W. Turner, the gallery complements the existing neoclassical building while introducing contemporary elements. In 1990, Stirling was awarded the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize, recognizing his significant contributions to the field. He was knighted in the same year, becoming Sir James Stirling. Stirling passed away on June 25, 1992, following complications from a routine surgical procedure. His legacy continues to influence architects worldwide, celebrated for pushing the boundaries of modern architecture and blending historical context with innovative design.; Folio; 160 pages.
