The three articles were originally separately published in Architecture in Detail in1993 and 1994. John McKean is a historian of postwar British Architecture and wrote the item on James Stirling and James Gowan. Gabriele Bramante is an architect, teacher, writer and journalist. He wrote about Foster Associates. Kenneth Powell is an architectural writer and a key figure in the Twentieth Century Society. He wrote on the Richard Rogers Partnership. These are three highly feted and ground-breaking Modern British buildings. The extremely influential Leicester University Engineering Department Building, with its powerful contradictory geometry, established the worldwide reputation of James Stirling. The glass facade of Foster's building for Willis Faber Dumas--a mirror by day and transparent by night- caused a sensation in 1974 and still commands attention. The 'mechanical cathedral' of Lloyd's in the heart of the City of London, was a radical development in the 1980s and epitomizes Rogers's concern with flexibility and technical imagery. By looking at the three buildings in one volume the reader can chart the development of Modern British architecture and examine the distinctive approaches taken by the 'big three' exponents, called such at the Royal Academy exhibition in 1986. Part of a series that places buildings within their historical context, this text considers the Engineering Department Building at Leicester University, the Willis Faber Dumas Building and the Lloyd's Building. It includes specially produced technical drawings that explain how the buildings were detailed and put together. By looking at the buildings together, the reader can analyze and chart the development of modern British architecture and examine the distinctive approaches taken by three different partnerships. John McKean is Executive Director of the Center for Information Based Competition, which advances the thinking on how firms in customer-intensive industries achieve competitive advantage from applying customer information. He is called on by the world's leading firms to guide them through the tumultuous process of transforming their information legacies into customer-based information competencies for the 21st century. He is frequently invited by the world's leading firms to spearhead global customer information forums. John McKean's real world customer information work is balanced with the academic rigors of guest lecturing at MIT Sloan Graduate School, postgraduate work at Harvard University, and a Master's degree in Business and an undergraduate degree in Economics. Gabriele Bramante, whose outstanding work in making a Citizens Advice Bureau realistically accessible for the disabled, wins his nomination for the most inspired project of 199EVAMY. Gabriele Bramante was also a winner of the BBC Design Award for architecture. Kenneth Powell is an architecture critic and journalist based in London. He contributes to newspapers and journals in Britain and abroad and is a former architecture correspondent for The Daily Telegraph. Kenneth Powell's many books include studies of the architecture of Norman Foster, a two-volume study on the work of Richard Rogers and a monograph on Will Alsop. Mr. Powell was elected Honorary Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects in 2000.
