"Strikingly original. Amanda Lawrence's detailed analysis of
Stirling's buildings and drawings allows readers to follow the
architect's design strategies and understand how he employed
diverse means to embody them. I have never read such a compelling
and persuasive assessment of a 20th-century architect's work. An
exemplary study and a model for future studies."—Diane Ghirardo,
University of Southern California

“This is one of the first, serious academic architectural
historical and critical treatments of the breadth of James
Stirling’s work. Author Amanda Lawrence contributes as well to
continued revisions of modernism and postmodernism, positing a
theory based not on stylistic affinity but on compositional
structures and evolving notions of reference. There is much here to
draw upon, as well as new knowledge and understanding of
Stirling himself.”—Daniel Abramson, Tufts University
*Daniel Abramson*
“an admirably close analysis of both Stirling’s work and decades of
its critical reception."—Metropolis
