Colin St.John Wilson: Buildings and Projects - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

"Colin St John Wilson: Buildings and Projects" is the definitive examination of the work of one of Britain's most eminent and prolific architects, Sir Colin St John Wilson. The book, which coincides with and celebrates St John Wilson's 85th birthday, spans projects from throughout his career, from earlier work, such as the 1956 'This is Tomorrow' collaborative exhibition of architects and artists; to his own house in Cambridge (where he was the University's Head of the School of Architecture from 1975 to 1989); to perhaps his most celebrated building, the British Library in St Pancras and its extension, to the current work he is engaged with in the masterplanning of the Royal Academy. "Colin St John Wilson: Buildings and Projects" beautifully illustrates the thought processes and theories behind the work, with essays, photographs, building drawings and diagrams; as well as genealogical and chronological charts, which place his architecture within its historical context. This title is a must-have for everyone with an interest in modern architecture, and provides the perfect companion to Black Dog Publishing's re-issue of St John Wilson's "The Other Tradition of Modern Architecture: The Uncompleted Project."
