Book: COLLECTED WORKS: VOLUME 1 1990-2005 by Caruso St John
A collection of works by Caruso St John, a London-based architectural firm founded by Adam Caruso and Peter St John. This is the first volume of a collection covering 15 years of one of the most highly acclaimed and influential architectural practices. This book is a comprehensive and detailed retrospective, organized thematically around key stages and aspects of their work from 1990 to 2005. Through essays by critics, clients, and artists, it showcases a variety of activities from their early work to their development, gaining international recognition for projects such as the Nottingham Contemporary in the UK, and the New Art Gallery Walsall and The Brick House, both finalists for the RIBA Stirling Prize.
This book includes detailed explanations of early projects and competition submissions, previously unpublished drawings, and new commentaries by Caruso and St John. It contextualizes references spanning architecture and contemporary art, and features new texts and archival texts that capture the formation and reputation of each project. The book's open and thoughtful structure makes it easy to understand, providing detailed and cross-referencing references to ideas, images, influences, and records. Diverse projects, such as Peter St John's own home at Orleston Mews and the signage system at London Bankside, are discussed alongside their more famous architectural works. Collected here are works ranging from the famous to the lesser-known, the peripheral to the monumental, the ugly to the beautiful, embodying Caruso St John's belief that the contemporary world is composed not only of the new but of all that has come before. It reveals a vision of the architectural environment as a network of culture, memory, architecture, and emotion, and clearly demonstrates architecture that inhabits and evolves within its fluctuating totality.
The book also includes texts by German film director Wim Wenders, German architect Hans Kollhoff, French architectural historian Irénée Scalbert, British curator and editor Vicky Richardson, Swedish architectural historian Claes Caldenby, French architectural critic Dominique Boudet, British curator James Lingwood, and Caruso and St John themselves.
