Writings on Architecture
Pentagram, New York, New York, 2008
Description
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.
