About this title

Synopsis

To celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the founding of Pamphlet Architecture, we are proudly reissuing the first ten issues-most of which have been long out of print-in one hardcover volume. This graphically stunning and theoretically stimulating collection includes the early works of many of today's best-known architects, including Steven Holl, Lars Lerup, Mark Mack, Lebbeus Woods, Zaha Hadid, Livio Dimitriu, and Alberto Sartoris.
The Pamphlet Architecture series was founded in 1978 by architects Steven Holl and William Stout as a venue for publishing the thoughts and works of a younger generation of architects. Each issue was written, illustrated, and designed by a single architect, which gives each its unique character. The series, which received an American Institute of Architects award, continues to influence new generations of architects as it disseminates new and innovative ideas on architecture and presents the work of the luminaries of tomorrow.

Review

In the late 1970s and early '80s, Pamphlet Architecture offered a fresh, samizdat-like alternative to homogenized architectural publishing. Based in New York and San Francisco, masterminded by a young Steven Holl and by bookshop innovator William Stout, the Pamphlets presented notional schemes by a then 30-something clique of intellectual practitioners, men-and one women-who retained a critical faith in certain tenets of Modernism. Here the first 10 Pamphlets are reprinted as a celebratory, 20th anniversary tome. -- Architectural Review
