Number One Poultry, London EC2R 8EJ, was a commission awarded by Peter Palumbo to James Stirling, Michael Wilford and Associates in May 1985. Designed from July 1985 onwards, it was completed in 1998. In 2016 it was listed grade II* and it is currently the youngest ever listed building in England.This book records the conversations between One Poultry and those involved with it over its controversial lifetime: Peter Palumbo, developer and patron; Michael Wilford, Stirling’s lifetime working partner; Laurence Bain, Number One Poultry project architect; Peter Rees, the City of London Planning Officer at the time; and Charles Jencks, architectural historian and theoretician of Post-Modernism. The book includes original, unpublished sketches and drawings of the building from conception to realisation, documentation that explains the value of its architecture and a selection of letters sent by distinguished individuals to the City of London Planning Office to protest against threatened, heavy alterations that anticipated the listing.One Poultry Speaks, devised and edited by Marco Iuliano, is a collaboration between the University of Liverpool, whence James Stirling graduated in 1950, and the Royal Institute of British Architects, which awarded him its Royal Gold Medal in 1980.

Over a period of forty years, Hélène Binet has photographed both contemporary and historical architecture – this is the complete monograph of her work, with two extensive critical essays. Marco Iuliano details Hélène Binet’s background, from her childhood in the Italian fishing village of Sperlonga and in Rome, through her early ‘discovery’ of architectural photographer Lucien Hervé, to other significant influences, like the collaborations with Daniel Libeskind, John Hejduk and the connections at the Architectural Association (AA) in London where she met Zaha Hadid. The essay highlights in detail Binet’s approach to photography, her process and archive.Martino Stierli sets Binet’s work within the conceptual framework of architectural photography, discussing whether an architectural photograph is an inventory of a building or space, a translation into a two-dimensional image or, rather, an image in its own right; an artifact that loosely relates to the original object or phenomenon. Within this context, Stierli argues that Binet’s oeuvre seems to oscillate between two obsessions: a desire to translate spatial phenomena into the two-dimensional space of the image and a quest to articulate the modulation of light on a surface. The two essays are followed by a catalogue of Binet's work, which is framed within a series of her recurring themes emerged through dialogues between the authors and the photographer.

A landmark collection of drawings produced in the office of James Stirling, one of the greatest architects of the twentieth century. James Stirling, after whom the RIBA Stirling Prize is named, was born in Glasgow and raised in Liverpool, and became one of the most inspiring architects of the twentieth century. Alongside partners James Gowan and Michael Wilford, Associates Laurence Bain and Russell Bevington and other office members, Stirling created some of Britain’s iconic buildings. These include the Leicester University Engineering Building, the History Faculty Building at Cambridge University and Number One Poultry in London, which was listed by Historic England as a masterpiece of Postmodern architecture.The fascinating drawings included in this book reveal the collaborative nature of architecture and the relentless process from idea to completion, fluctuating between doodles and technical drawings. There is a playfulness and irreverence that pervades many of the drawings, doodles and notes that communicate Stirling’s intelligence and ironic inclinations. This beautifully produced, cloth-bound book provides an insight into everyday life in an architectural office before the advent of the computer, which appears more varied and collaborative than one might imagine.
