Ignored by critics, but worth remembering Integrating the testable with the intuitive

摘要

As someone who was there for much of his time as Chairman of the Architectural Association School, I am pleased that Alvin Boyarsky's extraordinary achievements are beginning to be appreciated by a generation who have come later. One response to Igor Marjanovic's ambitious article about his tenure (arq 14.2, pp. 165-174) is to doubt how much the publications programme, undoubtedly an important enterprise for Boyarsky, can be separated from his larger obsession and long-term project of re-making architectural culture.
