The Architecture of Paul Rudolph

I've been a fan of Rudolph's work for 35 years and thought I knew everything about him. However, this excellent book by Timothy Rohan presents information I've never heard before, especially about Rudolph's heartbreaking fall from prominence and his constant grief over the state of the A&A building.Architecture trends will come and go, and critics can complain about Rudolph's individualism, but the man was incapable of designing a boring building. In a world of glass boxes, isn't that what matters most?

I'm not generally a fan of brutalism, but this book provides much information and good arguments.

Gave it to my sister who is a HUGE Paul Rudolph fan( he designed our high school, which our city leaders decided to tear down!!) and she LOVED it. Said she had seen it and wanted to buy it. Beautiful book!!

Excellent, deeply-researched and beautifully illustrated account of this weird artist.
