Résumé:
During a tumultuous period in the 1960s and 70s, a new generation of architects began their careers amidst a period of profound social change, new conditions for architecture and the city and lasting changes to popular and critical forms of cultural production. First Works tells the story of this period and reassesses the conditions of architecture and the beginnings of architectural careers through a selection of projects undertaken during the 60s and 70s. The book, accompanying a major travelling exhibition, presents a single key early project, in the form of models, sketches, photographs and drawings, by 20 young architectural practices, including Archigram, Aldo Rossi, Robert Venturi, Renzo Piano, Peter Eisenman, Herzog & de Meuron and Zaha Hadid. Alongside these ‘first works’, 20 invited critics, including Kenneth Frampton, Sylvia Lavin and Pier Vittorio Aureli, offer contemporary commentaries on these projects and their place within the architects’ subsequent careers.

Each unit in the School, from Foundation to Graduate level, selects the best work produced during the year. In full colour in 2005/06, Projects Review also includes a DVD that features student projects, exhibitions, lectures, symposia and publications with over 4000 images and 80 video presentations. Both book and DVD are a cumulative record of life of the Architectural Association during the past year.
