London-based Stiff + Trevillion Architects is one of the UK's
leading architectural practices. Stiff + Trevillion: Practising
Architecture tells its story, from the earliest days to the
present, weaving together key events and moments in its history
with project stories that illustrate its design ethos and approach
to the business of architecture. Featured projects include
restaurants for Wagamama and Jamie's Italian; The Canal Building,
set within the Portobello Dock scheme masterplanned by Stiff +
Trevillion; private houses including Mayfly Cottage, and a recent
commercial scheme in London's Pentonville Road.
At the heart of the ethos of Stiff + Trevillion is the maxim that
10,000 hours of practice are required before any of us can be
successful at our chosen craft. The book illustrates how Stiff +
Trevillion practiced 'on the job', examining the profession of
architecture as a creative--as well as a
commercial--endeavour.
A fascinating examination of some of the key clients, projects,
events and challenges in the development of one of the UK's most
interesting contemporary practices, and richly illustrated with
original sketches, drawings and photography, Stiff + Trevillion:
Practising Architecture will appeal to anyone interested in how the
architecture business works from the inside out.
