A Second Course in Architecture

Abstract

The milieu in which Alsop was educated, mixed and worked was crucial to the original architect he became. Samantha Hardingham describes those heady days, particularly the influence of the Architectural Association in the early 1970s and its rich menagerie of denizens of the period. She focuses on a critical and enigmatic mentor, Cedric Price, for whom Alsop worked and asserted as a profound influence on his design thinking.
