Summary:
"Ideas, faces and places" is a record of an exhibition and symposium that took place in Dublin at The Irish Architectural Archive in the autumn of 2022, "Sweet Disorder and the Carefully Careless: Ideas, Faces and Places", which transferred to RIBA headquarters in London in the Spring of 2023. The book is a repository for some of the observations that arose at these events made by architects and critics including John Tuomey, Ed Jones, Irina Davidovici, Kenneth Frampton and others. The exhibition juxtaposed Celia Scott’s busts of the architects James Stirling, Leon Krier, Alan Colquhoun, Ed Jones and others, with a pictorial biography of her husband, the eminent architect and academic Robert Maxwell (1922-2020). The view that this book offers of the exhibition and of the work of Scott and Maxwell is provisional and partial, offering the reader the chance to meander and to relish unexpected juxtapositions and oblique views of its subjects - almost exactly like the rooms that Celia Scott created in Dublin and in London. Robert Maxwell was one of the most important architectural theorists and teachers of the second half of the 20th century - this book is an essential addition to his oeuvre.

The written word thus becomes a useful means of studying and analysing planning processes and questions relating to the modern city and urban and spatial design. These publications are not just systematic collections of writings or transcripts of conferences and public statements but are also attempts by the architects themselves to reformulate their oeuvre and to produce new, unpublished work. The texts are accompanied by original illustrations, often produced specifically for these publications, and by critiques and biliograhies of the architects' work.

Summary:
The Ashmolean Museum in Oxford is the oldest museum in the country, however, behind a distinguished facade by CR Cockerell lies a confused accretion of buildings that neither does justice to Cockerell nor develops the full potential of the Museum. By 2008 the museum will have doubled its floor space with six new storeys of galleries, education and conservation centres, and a roof top restaurant. This is just the latest in a long line of distinguished projects that have seen Rick Mather Architects become one of the most influential and well respected firms in the world today. "Rick Mather architects" explores the full scope of the 500 projects that the office has undertaken over the past 33 years. Best known for their award winning museum extensions, such as the Dulwich Picture Gallery and the National Maritime Museum, and their major new expansion to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, USA, which is currently on site and due to complete in 2008, their portfolio spans a broad spectrum of projects including residential and student housing, masterplans, of which the first phase of their masterplan for London’s South Bank is nearing completion, including both renovations and new buildings. Essays by architectural historian and former Dean of Architecture at Princeton, Robert Maxwell; architect and structural engineer Tim Macfarlane, renowned for his pioneering work in structural glass; and Patrick Bellew, distinguished for his commitment to ‘green’ engineering, form the backbone of this study. As a firm Rick Mather Architects bridges the space between the street and the interior, the old and the new, infusing their buildings with a distinct architectural identity. They are renowned for their intuitive sense of place and context, as well as their pioneering technologies in structural glass and sustainable design. Rick Mather Architects draws on Mather’s original plans and drawings and does full justice to the firm’s unique subtlety.
