When it was built, James Stirling and Michael Wilford’s Neues Galerie in Stuttgart was acclaimed as Stirling’s greatest building so far, but it quickly became embroiled in the bitter controversy surrounding any project considered ‘Post Modern’; and has had little attention, even in the current revival of interest in all things 1980s. To coincide with the Stirling show at Tate Britain, and in collaboration with the Tate and the CCA in Montreal, where the Stirling show originated, EXP staged the latest in its seminal series which brings major practi- tioners back into the ‘studio’ to present their greatest projects to a panel of international critics and an audience of students, academics and the public. Supercrit #7 was presented by James Stirling’s partner Michael Wilford to a panel of critics including the Evening Standard’s architecture critic Kieran Long, author, critic and client Charles Jencks, Louisa Hutton of Sauerbruch Hutton, Berlin, John Tuomey of O’Donnell and Tuomey, Dublin and chaired by Piers Gough of CZWG.

Light, Shadow, Position, View, Point of View B.A.Interior Architecture is now in its second year of existence. First Year started by looking at the basic spatial building block the room, looking outwards and framing the view. Starting with Le Corbusier’s le Cabanon, which was used as a measure, the projects expanded to accommodate other views, viewpoints and occupants. The term finished with a competition ‘Room with a View’, the winners going on to compete in Young Interior Designer of the Year. Second semester turned inwards to the murky world of the shadow puppeteer. Starting with a trip to the theatre, the studio adopted Matthew Robin’s fictional character ‘Flyboy’ as a client. The programme was to design a Pop-up stage for a one-week festival of shadow puppetry in Old Spitalfields Market. The students were expected to take into account the shadow puppet, the puppeteer, the audience, and also the random shopper in the market. Proposals were described at the scale of the stage, at the scale of the market, and in stop frame animation.

    An Investigation of the Architectural, Urban, and Exhibit Designs of the Tate Museums by Deirdre L. C.

Fishman, Co-chair Associate Professor Claire A. Zimmerman, Co-chair Associate Professor Scott D. Campbell Professor Raymond A. Silverman The chief function of the city is to convert power into form, energy into culture, dead matter into the living symbols of art, biological reproduction into social creativity. Lewis Mumford, The City in History (1961) For Eric ii Acknowledgements It is a pleasure to be able to thank those who have helped me to write and research this dissertation over many years. Thank you first to my dedicated co-chairs, Robert Fishman and Claire Zimmerman, and committee members, Scott Campbell and Ray Silverman, who despite my meanderings, stayed the course and provided timely and insightful commentary to buoy me along. Thank you also to David Scobey who many years ago first suggested I investigate the University of Michigan’s Museum Studies program; a program that has offered countless benefits to this project and my intellectual development. As the grateful recipient of a Museum Studies Fellowship for Doctoral Research in Museums, I was able to do the travel and research required to complete this work. In Ray Silverman and Brad Taylor, I found examples of generous and talented scholars who are also very fine people. Thank you. I am endlessly grateful to the University of Michigan’s Rackham Graduate School and Doctoral Program in Architecture for the fellowships and grant opportunities I have received throughout my years in Ann Arbor.

  • Continuity and Development in Architecture Transcript
    Continuity and Development in Architecture Transcript Date: Thursday, 5 June 2014 - 6:00PM Location: Guildhall 05 June 2014 The Gresham Special Lecture Continuity and Development in Architecture Stephen Hodder MBE President of the Royal Institute of British Architects I am deeply honoured to have been invited to give this year’s Gresham Special lecture. For this I have chosen the subject ‘Continuity and tradition, an exploration of the value and impact of architecture’, using the Stirling Prize as a vehicle for this exploration. But I would like to start with a quotation; ‘Good design builds communities, creates quality of life, and makes places better for people to live, work and play in. I want to make sure we’re doing all we can to recognise the importance of architecture and reap the benefits of good design.’ Ed Vaizey MP, in his foreword to the Farrell review Established in 1996 the RIBA Stirling Prize is awarded to a building that has made the most significant contribution to the advancement of architecture and the built environment in the European Union in a given year. But first a little background. The RIBA Awards have been running annually since 1966, and the Building of the Year since 1993, initially the gift of the President. Buildings are initially entered and assessed regional. Regional award-winning buildings are then considered nationally, from which a shortlist of six national award-winning buildings go on to be considered for the premier prize. It is a most rigorous process with each building being visited by a panel comprising of both architect and lay judges.

Mies van der Rohe 24 Le Corbusier JUGENDSTIL, RIGA, LATVIA Built from 1899. In Riga, two main styles, decorative and romantic-nationalistic. Riga is one of the largest centres of Art Nouveau, with more than a third of the buildings of its Central District;. The main street for Riga's Art Nouveau district is Elizabetes, which crosses Brivibas Boulevard, also Alberta and Strelnieku Streets. There are 800 Jugendstil buildings in Riga. Most were designed and built by Latvian architects. The Latvian Ethnographic Exhibition in 1896 and the Industrial and Handicrafts Exhibition in 1901, which commemorated the city's 700th anniversary were dominated by pavilions designed in the new style. Within three years, Art Nouveau would become the only design style used in construction, adopted in the main by the new generation of architects who graduated from the Riga Polytechnic Institute. Buildings built at the beginning of the century in the city's medieval centre and on Alberta iela, most of which were designed by the Russian architect Eisenstein and the German architects Scheffel and Scheel. The floral, geometric and sculptural motifs decorating these buildings create rhythms that are typical of eclectic architecture.
