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where he trained and influenced many of the current leaders in the field.\u003cp\u003eFully illustrated with previously unpublished documents and new photography from the James Stirling\/Michael Wilford Archive at the Canadian Centre for Architecture, Montreal, this book allows for a close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 labeling. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in association with the Yale Center for British Art and the Canadian Centre for Architecture \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eYale Center for British Art\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/14\/2010 - 01\/02\/2011\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCanadian Centre for Architecture, Montreal \u003c\/b\u003eSpring 2012\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthony Vidler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300167237\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300167238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/14\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.04h x 9.00w x 1.12d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2011 pg. 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/10\/2011 pg. 47","brand":"Anthony Vidler","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43913597583615,"sku":"9780300167238","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e3e8d3a7-22ba-49a4-8b31-dbeb5ad48463.jpg?v=1680621275","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/james-frazer-stirling-anthony-vidler-9780300167238","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
