Alison and Peter Smithson first rose to prominence with their design for the Hunstanton Secondary Modern School, a low-slung glass and steel structure built in 1949-54. Almost simultaneously, whilst planning CIAM X in Dubrovnik, the Smithsons founded the breakaway Team X.Since that time, many of their ideas, both social and architectural have profoundly influenced generations of practitioners, students and academics. The Charged Void: Architecture is the first comprehensive book available on the enormous legacy of Alison and Peter Smithson. Including more than 125 projects over more than 50 years, the volume is an unparalleled record of a career and two lives in architecture.Fifteen thematic sections highlight areas of inquiry: ordering, urban structuring, natural light, density, archival photographs, drawings and diagrams illustrate the designs.Much of the text is drawn from original project descriptions; it is in turn serious and humorous, introspective and inclusive. The Smithsons have also added contemporary commentary to provide a context for the work.All of the architects major buildings and projects Golden Lane, Sheffield University, the Economist Building and the House of the Future are included.In this rich and thorough documentation, the work of these important architects is recorded for posterity.
