Sweet Disorder and the Carefully Careless: Theory and Criticism in?Architecture is the first comprehensive collection of essays by Robert?Maxwell, an important member of the postwar generation of architects who established a critical interest in the pre-war modernist tradition, a?group including Colin Rowe, James Stirling, and Alan Colquhoun. Many?essays in the book, written over the last ten years, originally appeared?in scholarly and professional journals, including Oppositions,?Architectural Digest, and Progressive Architecture.??From a diverse selection of essays emerges the powerful voice of a?particular sensibility as Maxwell considers the tension between opposed?urges in architecture: the rational, technological, timeless monumentality of the Modern Movement and the more emotional, nostalgic references of historicism. Out of this tension, he argues, can come a vital juxtaposition, a "sweet disorder" that should be cultivated by architects in the search for valid architectural forms.?
?Sweet Disorder joins Sexuality and Space in a growing series of titles called Princeton Papers on Architecture, published in collaboration with the Princeton University School of Architecture.

Robert Maxwell presents his friendly polemic which reacts against the set positions over defined by style and ideology such as hi-tech, classical revival and attempts to justify a more flexible mediatorial position that would not simply be compromise. The discussion covers the alternative approaches of abstraction which brings a kind of personal freedom and representation which carries a social duty, and therefore deals with the potentially conflicting demands of personal expression and the contextual forces in the environment.

Robert Maxwell is one of the most exciting new photographers to have emerged on the savagely competitive scene of fashion and editorial photography. In Photographs, Maxwell shares his edgy nudes, portraits, and still lifes that are at once modern and, strangely, part of the past. Much has been written about the lack of innovation in contemporary photography, and this book, Maxwell's first, underscores why he is widely considered to be one of the most interesting photographers of his generation. Combining a rough-edged eroticism with a genuine interest in form and beauty, Maxwell's nudes-perhaps the most difficult genre to master-are in a class by themselves. His elegant portrait studies of his family, friends, and passersby, are fresh and original and bring to mind the groundbreaking work of Irving Penn or of Richard Avedon. But Maxwell is distinguished from his modernist forebears both aesthetically and by his unique approach to the medium: He utilizes the nineteenth-century glass wetplate technology known as the ambrotype-called the "black art" of photography for its rich, dark and reflective surfaces. These gorgeous glass objects, as well as the artist's platinum and silver prints, come alive in this striking book that is certain to become a milestone in the art of bookmaking.
