A collection of writings showcasing Stanley Tigerman's indispensable contributions to architectural thought and culture Chicago architect and iconoclast Stanley Tigerman has been called a "design maven who can spit venom like a snake." Though he is at times sharply critical, his ability to cut to the core of architectural discourse has opened this insular world to a broader audience. His words and theories are appealing for their candor and are backed by his long-standing architectural practice. Since 1964 Tigerman has made an indelible mark on his hometown and on cities across the globe, with projects ranging from the Five Polytechnic Institutes in Bangladesh to the Holocaust Memorial Foundation Museum in Skokie, Illinois. This collection of essays, most previously unpublished, spans the course of Tigerman's career. Included are writings on the history of Chicago architecture, architectural theory, and commentary on contemporaries. Tigerman's engaging words, at times humorous and humble, at times biting and cantankerous, will captivate students and scholars as well as the general reader.

Archeworks

A fascinating autobiography by renowned US architect, theorist and designer Stanley Tigerman. Tigerman shares his remarkable life story of "skewed trajectories and misguided tangents" which is refreshingly candid and humorous. Throughout his kaleidoscopic career, Tigerman has designed numerous buildings and installations throughout the world. Features insight into buildings designed by Stanley Tigerman in the US, Bangladesh, Canada, the UK, Italy, Japan, Portugal, Spain, Germany, Yugoslavia, and Puerto Rico, and 930 remarkable lectures throughout the world. During his early career, Tigerman borrowed extensively from an eclectic blend of styles. In later years, his diverse design style has progressively assumed a more sensual and theatrical character. Tigerman's early skill with curves and perspective has expanded to include organic shapes, bright color, topiary, and allegory. From his early eclectic styling he has developed into an idiosyncratic theorist.
