Sir James Stirling was one of the greatest British architects of the twentieth century. This book provides a comprehensive critical survey of Stirling's work, charting the development of his ideas over four turbulent architectural decades. Using archival material, analytical examination of key buildings, and extensive interviews with Stirling's partners, the book sheds new light on Stirling's philosophy, working method and design strategy, and the atelier structure of his office.
