DAVID CHIPPERFIELD STIRLING PRIZE
by ArchitectureWeek
http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/today.html
http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2007/1010/news_1-1.html
The Stirling Prize for 2007 has been awarded to the
Museum of Modern Literature in Marbach am Neckar,
Germany, designed by David Chipperfield Architects. With
a spare colonnade around its boxy, minimalist form, the
Museum (Literaturmuseum der Moderne) is something of a
neoclassical Parthenon, helping the larger cluster of
buildings - which also includes the National Schiller
Museum (1903) and the Archive for German Literature
(1970s) - come together as a seeming Acropolis atop its
ridge overlooking the River Neckar.
The Museum of Modern Literature houses texts by
20th-century German authors, brought together into one
collection after German Reunification. In what the jury
recognized as a "tough brief," David Chipperfield
Architects was charged with creating a building to
celebrate books and manuscripts that the general public
is allowed only very limited access to. The building
itself thus becomes a significant part of the visitor's
experience.
The 3,800-square-meter (40,900-square-foot) new building
offers an intimate entrance on its uphill side, facing
the National Schiller Museum, while on its downhill side
it invites visitors across an open terrace overlooking
the valley.

Breuer and Noyes in New Canaan
by William D. Earls
http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2007/1010/culture_1-1.html
Over fifty years ago, the "Harvard Five" architects,
Marcel Breuer and his students Landis Gores, John
Johansen, Philip Johnson, and Eliot Noyes, built houses
for themselves and their clients in New Canaan,
Connecticut.
That ushered in a period during which some of the
best-known architects of the 20th century produced
landmark designs in a community otherwise known for
staunch New England conservatism. Set against a backdrop
of old colonial houses and idyllic scenery, the modern
houses incite strong reactions from nearly everyone who
sees them, even today.
