Description

James Stirling (1926–1992) was one of the most influential architects of the late 20th century.

His formally inventive yet historically informed designs inspired a generation of architects in his native England and throughout the world.

James Stirling: Revisionary Modernist is the first in-depth, book-length analysis of the architect's work.

Amanda Reeser Lawrence focuses on six of Stirling's projects from the early 1950s through the late 1970s, offering detailed formal analysis of the buildings and drawings while also mapping his relationship to a broader architectural and cultural context.

Though it is widely held that Stirling took a mid-career turn toward postmodernism, Lawrence shows that he was undeniably modern throughout his career.

She clarifies the ways in which Stirling understood modernism as inextricably linked to the past and placed his own work in what he termed a "dialogue with architectural tradition."
