With a body of work firmly at the heart of architectural theory and
discourse, Robert Maxwell is undoubtedly one of the most respected
architectural writers and educators of recent times. Emeritus
Professor of Architecture at Princeton University, Robert Maxwell
is a scholar known worldwide for critical writing that looks at
modern and contemporary architecture in relation to our wider
culture, including art, literature and music. A Few Years of
Writing: Interspersed with Some Facts of Life brings together a
collection of over 30 of Maxwell's writings from the late twentieth
century to the present, through which are woven events and
occasions from his own diary that expand on debates in the world of
architecture throughout the period. Texts include "Richard Rogers:
an Evaluation", first published in Casabella in February 1994;
"Sounds and Sweet Airs at Stuttgart", a review of the Music School
at Stuttgart, in the RIBA Journal in October 1996; an obituary of
Philip Johnson in The Architectural Review, in March 2005; and
"Eisenman: The Formal Basis of Modern Architecture", in Building
Design in September 2006. This engaging collection, at once
intimate and autobiographical, insightful and perceptive, as well
as critical and theoretical, results in a rich description of the
culture of architecture across two decades towards the close of the
last century and during the early years of the present. A Few Years
of Writing: Interspersed with Some Facts of Life is the first of
two books of Robert Maxwell's writing to be published by Artifice,
with the second coming out in Spring 2013.
