James Stirling (architect) Sir James Frazer Stirling (22 April 1926 – 25 June 1992) was a British architect. Among critics and architects alike he is generally acknowledged to be one of the most important and influential architects of the second half of the 20th century. His career began as one of a number of young architects who, from the 1950s onwards, questioned and subverted the compositional and theoretical precepts of the first Modern Movement. Stirling's development of an agitated, mannered reinterpretation of those precepts – much influenced by his friend and teacher, the important architectural theorist and urbanist Colin Rowe – introduced an eclectic spirit that allowed him to plunder the whole sweep of architectural history as a source of compositional inspiration, from ancient Rome and the Baroque, to the many manifestations of the modern period, from Frank Lloyd Wright to Alvar Aalto. Stirling worked in partnership with James Gowan from 1956 to 1963, then with Michael Wilford from 1971 until 1992.

Bjarke Ingels Group Alvar Aalto : architect biography Alvar Aalto Alvar Aalto (1898-1976) is considered a modern architect, yet his work exhibits a carefully crafted balance of intricate and complex forms, spaces, and elements, and reveals a traditionalism rooted in the cultural heritage and physical environment of Finland. Over the course of his 50-year career, Alvar Aalto, unlike a number of his contemporaries, did not rely on modernism's fondness for industrialized processes as a compositional technique, but forged an architecture influenced by a broad spectrum of concerns. Alvar Aalto 's is an architecture that manifests an understanding of the psychological needs of modern society, the particular qualities of the Finnish environment, and the historical, technical, and cultural traditions of Scandinavian architecture. Hugo Alvar Henrik Aalto was born in the Ostro-Bothnian village of Kourtane in 1898. The family soon moved to Alajarvi, where his mother, Selma Hackstedt Aalto, died in 1903.

JENSEN ARCHITECTS Ann Hamilton Tower Audience and performer are intertwined inside this tower located at the Oliver Ranch in Alexander Valley. Designed by the artist Ann Hamilton, with our office as architect of record, the tower was imagined as a space for performance. A double helix stair weaves in three dimensions performers on one stair and audience on the other—in close proximity but never direct contact. The 24’ diameter tower is several stories tall with seating and light niches cut into the thick concrete walls. Open at the top, the sky is reflected in a pool at the base of the tower.
JDS Architects Gehry Partners, LLP AIA Associés Issue de l’association en 2011de Buffi Associés et de AIA Associés, Intens-Cité est née de l’ambition partagée de répondre aux défis posés à l’architecture contemporaine dans un monde ouvert en voie de complète urbanisation. Complexité des usages et des catégories d’usagers, esthétique innovante, insertion urbaine, structures audacieuses, matériaux nouveaux, maîtrise des ambiances, performances environnementales, durabilité… les défis sont d’ordres si divers que, réunis, ils ne peuvent trouver de solutions aux seuls niveaux techniques et économiques. Dirigeant Intens-Cité, Jean-Pierre Buffi donne la priorité à la créativité pour répondre, avec une maîtrise et une réactivité permises par l’ensemble des compétences réunies chez AIA Associés, à ces enjeux. L’ambition partagée d’Intens-Cité et d’AIA Associés place au poste de commande l’expérimentation artistique et technique, associée au désir d’innovation et à la volonté de tenir jusqu’au bout les projets.
