Colin St John Wilson: Buildings and Projects is the definitive monograph on Sir Colin St John Wilson, one of the most important British architects of the second half of twentieth century. The book coincides with and celebrates St John Wilson's 85th birthday, spanning projects from throughout his career, from early works, to perhaps his most celebrated building, the British Library in London and its extension to his current project, the masterplanning of the Royal Academy of Arts in London. St John Wilson's peers include the likes of Reyner Banham, Philip Johnson and Louis Kahn, and he is one of the few living architects to have befriended both Le Corbusier and Alvar Aalto. St John Wilson is also recognised as a leading theorist and teacher. Colin St John Wilson: Buidings and Projects presents detailed, newly commissioned scale drawings of all of St John Wilson's major work. This 496 page hardback book is beautifully illustrated with over 450 colour and black and white illustrations. Fascinating texts by respected architects and writers including Professor Roger Stonehouse and Eric Parry fully elucidate St John Wilson's contribution to modern architecture. St John Wilson himself contributes an essay on the making, writing and teaching of architecture. This erudite, comprehensive publication is the perfect companion to Black Dog Publishing's re-issue of St John Wilson's seminal The Other Tradition of Modern Architecture: The Uncompleted Project.
