BRITISH EMBASSY TBILISI, REPUBLIC OF GEORGIA

摘要

Michael Wilford worked with James Stirling for 32 years. Joining as his first full-time assistant in 1960 while still a student, their later partnership stretched from 1972 until the elder man's death two decades later. This month, Tate Britain welcomes visitors to the pair's Clore Gallery for the London leg of James Stirling: Notes from the Archive, the retrospective unveiled at the Canadian Center for Architecture (CCA) in Montreal at the end of last year (AR December 2010). While elsewhere contributors reflect on Big Jim's legacy (see pages 72-81), here we take a first look at the latest of the many subsequent projects from the partnership's other half: the British Embassy in the Georgian capital Tbilisi, completed by Wilford last November.
