Exploring Boundaries ― The Architecture of Wilkinson Eyre

London-based Wilkinson Eyre have been drawing attention since the 1990s with a series of innovative and imaginative designs. This monograph covers the practice's work since 2000. During this period, their architecture has evolved significantly, but it continues to be distinguished by a willingness to adapt, exploring the boundaries between creative and scientific territories yet remaining specific to site and context.
This book offers detailed documentation of some fifteen buildings and structures, with special attention paid to the context of each design. Starting with the highly acclaimed Magne Centre and the Gateshead Millennium Bridge, winners of the RIBA Stirling Prize in 2001 and 2002, it traces the practice's increasing international reach with projects such as the Tensegrity Bridge in Washington DC and the Guangzhou West Tower in China. Two essays, by Peter Davey and Kurt W. Forster, give a detailed analyses of Wilkinson Eyre's approach.

Kurt W. Forster was professor at ETH, Zurich in 1992 and now teaches at the Yale School of Architecture.
