James Stirling (arhitect)
James Frazer Stirling (n. 22 aprilie 1926 – d. 25 iunie 1992) a fost un arhitect britanic, apreciat pe larg ca fiind unul dintre cei mai importanți joben și influent arhitecți ai celei de-a doua jumătăți a seocolului al XX-lea.

Partenerii profesionali ai lui Stirling au fost James Gowan, între 1956 și 1963, și Michael Wilford, între 1971 și 1992.

Biografie timpurie și educație 

Stirling studied architecture from 1945 until 1950 at the University of Liverpool, where Colin Rowe was his teacher.

Carieră 

In 1981, Stirling was awarded the Pritzker Prize.

Deces și moștenire 

Cu trei zile după anunțarea nominalizării sale pentru his knighthood, Stirling was hospitalised in London with a painful hernia. What should have been a straightforward operation went wrong and Stirling's condition deteriorated considerably. He was able to see his family before sinking into a coma. Stirling died on 25 June 1992. In accordance with his wishes, his ashes are buried near to his memorial in the narthex at Christ Church Spitalfields. Stirling's sudden passing was considered a great tragedy for architecture; the Italian architect and critic Vittorio Gregotti wrote in "Casabella" magazine that "from now on, everything will be more difficult".
