A monograph of works by Caruso St John, the London-based architectural practice founded by Adam Caruso and Peter St John. Following Volume 1, which covered 15 years of one of the most highly acclaimed and influential architecture firms, this second volume traces a complex series of themes through 12 years of the renowned firm's activities since the turn of the 21st century. The book reveals that the essence of their unique approach to history is a denial of the myth that new things can always be created, an endorsement of understanding the past as the present, and an interest in making the most of what already exists.
In addition to the influence of Milan, Chicago, and Rome on their understanding of the city, the book also delves deeply into the use of ornamentation and the position of Switzerland in shaping the developmental trajectory of the firm's activities. Through these contexts, it is their collaborations with contemporary artists such as Thomas Demand and Damien Hirst that continue to shape their relationship with the materiality and drama of space.
The book covers their most famous projects, from work on historic buildings such as the Tate Britain and the Barbican Centre, to new projects such as the Newport Street Gallery, opened by Hirst to display his art collection, and the Europaallee mixed-use complex in Zurich. In addition, it features exhibition designs, competition entries, and lesser-known projects, as well as an unprecedented range of materials, including unpublished drawings, references, and new commentaries.
The cultural environment behind the work can be glimpsed from contemporary criticisms, essays, and diverse writings that influenced the authors' thinking and education, including those of British poet and literary critic T. S. Eliot, art critic and theorist Rosalind Krauss, and architect Louis Sullivan. The references and architectural works interspersed between these projects and lectures encourage us to turn our attention to the "alchemy of everyday life" that has the potential to transform our understanding of the world and how we continue to build it.
