Présentation du contenu

Sub-series documents competition entries and projects by James Stirling, and by the successive firms of James Stirling; Stirling and Gowan; James Stirling and Partner; James Stirling, Michael Wilford, and Associates; Michael Wilford and Partners; and Michael Wilford GmbH. Several projects were carried out in association with other architects, including Léon Krier, Walter Nägeli, and the firms of Giancarlo de Carlo and of Marlies Hentrup Norbert Heyer. A majority of projects were designed for London, England and other locations in England and Scotland, Germany and the United States. Other projects were designed for Italy, Iran, Japan, France, Algeria, Spain, Netherlands, Kenya, Qatar, Canada, Singapore and Switzerland. Material in this sub-series was produced between 1951 and probably 2004.

The publication drawings for Stirling's projects were often drawn by Leon Krier, Russell Bevington, or Ulrich Schaad ('British Architecture Today', 1991).

Sub-series contains reference drawings, conceptual and design development drawings, publication and presentation drawings and panels, and working drawings. It also contains photographic materials, textual records, models and artefacts.

Mode de classement

The series is arranged chronologically by year of project.

A project register was not present in the fonds records. Individual project files in the Projects sub-series (AP140.S2.SS1) consist of all material relating to the preparation, development, realization and promotion of a project, and include drawings, photographic materials, textual records, models and artefacts. Original arrangement of the drawings by broad stages in the design process was generally respected, but some reordering and rearrangement within these groups was carried out in certain cases, particularly when numbered sequences or clear groupings of drawings had been disturbed.
