Writings on Architecture was published in conjunction with the rededication of Paul Rudolph’s newly restored masterpiece, the Yale Art and Architecture building. Built in 1963, the seven-story building features 37 interlocking levels and a concrete façade. The book is a collection of 19 essays, interviews and lectures that span a 40-year period beginning in 1952. Arranged chronologically, the entries cover a range of Rudolph’s interests from prefabrication to regionalism and urbanism. The design references Rudolph’s signature architectural elements with naturally textured paper and a layout of strong right angles and interlocking text and images.
