Review Article: The March of Red Brick: Building English Universities in the 1960s

摘要

Jim Stirling and the Red Trilogy sounds like the title of a 1960s spy novel not a measured assessment of three - for England at the time of their construction - quite revolutionary buildings and an examination of their reception and importance. The three red buildings - the Engineering Department of the University of Leicester (1959-63), the History Faculty of the University of Cambridge (1964-67), and the Florey Building at The Queen's College, Oxford (1965-79) - were all designed in the early part of the career of James Stirling (1924-1992).
