Summary:

"The Charged Void: Architecture is the first book available on the enormous legacy of Alison and Peter Smithson; a companion volume, The Charged Void: Urbanism, is currently in the preparation. Assembled by the architects themselves and including more than 125 projects over more than 50 years, the volume is an unparalleled record of a career - and two lives - in architecture. Fifteen thematic sections highlight areas of inquiry; ordering, urban structuring, natural light, density. Archival photographs (many featuring the architects), drawings, and diagrams illustrate the designs. Much of the text is drawn from original project descriptions. It is in turn serious and humorous, introspective and inclusive. The Smithsons have also added contemporary commentary to provide a context for the work."--Jacket.
