Michael wilford: buildings and projects 1992–2012 features well-known projects including the Lowry and the british embassy in berlin alongside hitherto largely unpublished projects such as the singapore national arts center and abando transport interchange in bilbao. in 1960 Michael wilford joined the practice created by James stirling and James gowan in 1956. the stirling/wilford partnership was established in 1971 and continued until James stirling’s death in 1992, after which Michael wilford continued the trajectory of the earlier work, whilst creating a clear identity post-stirling. Michael wilford’s work has gained international renown and includes significant public buildings such as performing art centres, art galleries, business headquarters, museums and libraries located around the world. continuing in the tradition of the ‘black’ and ‘white’ <strong>books</strong> (James stirling buildings and projects 1950–1974, and James stirling Michael wilford buildings and projects 1975–1992), produced by James stirling and Michael wilford in 1975 and 1994, Michael wilford: buildings and projects 1992–2012 brings up to date wilford’s legacy with respect to contemporary british and international architecture. formed in 1991, richard Murphy architects’ early reputation was built on highly crafted and innovative domestic work in edinburgh, scotland. the practice has grown both in size and range of commissions, working across the uk and ireland, in europe and sri Lanka and, more than two decades on, has amassed an extensive portfolio, designing buildings and spaces for the arts, education, housing, health, public and community use, as well as masterplanning. richard Murphy architects makes careful responses to complex contexts— whether insertion, extension or new-build, the practice’s projects develop a dialogue between existing and new, intimacy and scale. Large or small scale, public or private, each scheme harnesses plan, form, materials and detailing to produce a subtle, sensitively-considered result. covering projects from edinburgh’s fruitmarket gallery to the british high commission in colombo, sri Lanka, from schemes for large housing association clients to the intimate scale of the Maggie’s cancer caring centre in edinburgh, this survey of richard Murphy architects’ work presents a series of fascinating projects, and charts the development of a key contemporary architectural practice from the late twentieth century into the twenty-first. oF its time and oF its plaCe the work of richard Murphy architects author: riChard murphy / introduCtion: riChard maCCormaC hardback • isbn 978 1 907317 76 7 rrp £29.95 / €34.95 / $45.00 23 x 26.5 cm / 10.5 x 9 in 411 colour and b/w ills • 304 pages
