This is a captivating, enlightening, and impressively researched investigation into the life and times of this enigmatic Englishman. I was pleasantly surprised at the range of information covered in this biography. A great read for anyone with an interest in any number of subjects, including the origins of modern scientific theory and practice, the social customs and familial relations in 18th century England, the impact on European society, science and travel during the Napoleonic Wars or the founding of the Smithsonian Institution.

The Charged Void: Architecture
$85.00
Alison and Peter Smithson, founders of Team X and authors of the classic Team X Primer, are among the most influential architects of the postwar decades. Their reevaluation of modernism shifted the focus of architecture and urbanism toward the particularities and uniqueness of human associations, urban patterns, and climatic conditions. Many of their ideas, both social (cluster and human association) and architectural (Brutalism, the nature of materials), profoundly influenced later generations of academics, students, and practitioners. As the social ideals of earlier times became an integral part of the reassessment of the built environment of recent years, the Smithsons continue to gain in significance. This unprecedented and long-overdue publication is the first comprehensive book available on the enormous legacy of the Smithsons. Prepared by the architects themselves, The Charged Void: Architecture will be followed by a volume of their urban projects and a collection of their later writings. The architectural works in this book, which span from the mid-1940s to the mid-1990s, include all of their major projects, such as Hunstanton Secondary School, Golden Lane Housing, Sheffield University, the Economist Group, and the ���House of the Future,��� as well as smaller-scale designs, such as Sugden House. Introductions to groups of projects highlight the Smithsons��� ongoing areas of inquiry; each project is accompanied by an original text, photographs, drawings, plans, and other illustrations. The rich documentatipon on each project and the careful compilation ensure that this volume will record the work of these important architects for posterity.
