James Frazer Stirling (n. 22 aprilie 1926 – d. 25 iunie 1992) a fost un arhitect britanic, apreciat pe larg ca fiind unul dintre cei mai importanți joben și influent arhitecți ai celei de-a doua jumătăți a seocolului al XX-lea.
Partenerii profesionali ai lui Stirling au fost James Gowan, între 1956 și 1963, și Michael Wilford, între 1971 și 1992.
Biografie timpurie și educație[modificare | modificare sursă]
Stirling studied architecture from 1945 until 1950 at the University of Liverpool, where Colin Rowe was his teacher.
Carieră[modificare | modificare sursă]
In 1981, Stirling was awarded the Pritzker Prize.[6]
Deces și moștenire[modificare | modificare sursă]
Cu trei zile după anunțarea nominalizării sale pentru his knighthood, Stirling was hospitalised in London with a painful hernia. What should have been a straightforward operation went wrong and Stirling's condition deteriorated considerably. He was able to see his family before sinking into a coma.[7] Stirling died on 25 June 1992.[8] In accordance with his wishes, his ashes are buried near to his memorial in the narthex at Christ Church Spitalfields. Stirling's sudden passing was considered a great tragedy for architecture; the Italian architect and critic Vittorio Gregotti wrote in "Casabella" magazine that "from now on, everything will be more difficult".Format:Cite quote
