The glazed/ramped link between Edwardian house with living accommodation and the training facilities. Slightest change in light and weather can transform the space within minutes. The views of landscape and the house are fully exploited by ramps and their location. One of the liveliest circulation spaces of 20th century architecture.

Hugh Pearman tells the scandalous tale of James Stirling’s lost Utopia: In July 1981, in the offices of the British architecture newspaper Building Design, I received a letter from James Stirling. It enclosed a clipping from the Runcorn Daily News, a local newspaper in the north-west of England near Liverpool. “I hope your readers are … Continue reading "Naked and Demolished In Runcorn: The Scandalous Tale of James Stirling’s Lost Utopia"

Architect; James Stirling & Michael Wilford. 1965. One of the lesser known un-built projects of James Strling. In timeline it came just before the Olivetti Projects but after Leicester and Cambridge buildings. In a way, possibly the first project where Stirling is displaying clients products in the formation of structural framework in the shape of rolled steel columns and beams. This may well have been a client’s request through the brief. However, this concept fitted in his recent work on wall like structures for Churchill and Selwyn Colleges and a contrast with large precast concrete panels he just used in St Andrews Dormitories. Olivetti Training School also referred directly to Olivetti’s plastic injection moulded products reflected in repetitive plastic panels. This design must have either followed Dorman Long or possibly overlapped with it. Isometric and Model photo with thanks from Architectural Design July 1966. Dorman Long project seems to be the final chapter of first section of Stirling’s blockbuster book. Soon after this someone spiked his drink with a strong dose of some ‘Post- Modernist’ concoction and altered the entire future direction of work. Isometric & Model Photo with thanks from Architectural Design July 1966. 'smallritual' photos from exhibition here & here The proposed site was going to be near Tees Dock Road east of Middlesbrough.
