Summary:

"From the bright, clean lines of the Uplands Conference Centre, to the sweeping roofs of the Cambridge Centre for Mathematical Sciences, Edward Cullinan Architects' style is fluid and unpredictable, morphing with each project to suit the individual requirements of the people that will inhabit the space. In an attempt to understand present circumstances for the benefit of an unknown future, the practice renounces ego for warmth, and individual glory for an architecture that integrates into the space and context of its environments. It is this singular generosity that unites all their projects to date and that has earned Cullinans the reputation of being one of the most significant British architecture practices of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries." "Edward Cullinan Architects have on occasion been said to represent the 'touchy-feely' side of British architecture. This is an oversimplification, but there is some truth behind this statement. Cullinans stands for unembarrassed humanism. An architecture that serves the real clients of a building - not just the ones footing the bill. Ends Middles Beginnings is a celebration of their work."--BOOK JACKET.
