Published by Yale University Press, this new monograph offers the first comprehensive insight into American architect Paul Rudolph, shedding new light on a controversial figure

鉴于他在美国战后建筑史上的重要意义，似乎没有人曾写过一篇关于保罗·鲁道夫的综合性专著。他的纪念性建筑在耶鲁大学锤炼了混凝土艺术和建筑建筑，是20世纪60年代最具标志性的野蛮主义建筑之一。Timothy Rohan讲述了这座备受争议的巨石（巴比肯的前身）的故事，它以1969的名气被烧毁，可能是因为不满。带领学生，但在2009恢复。

鲁道夫的职业生涯因这场灾难而黯然失色，这场灾难标志着鲁道夫从先知转变为贱民。他曾被认为是美国建筑的救世主，后来在自己的地盘上被回避，并主要在东南亚练习。这是一个关于天才建筑师惊人地过时的有益的故事，罗汉对鲁道夫的兴衰的洞察力的描述提供了一个引人入胜的阅读。

鲁道夫是一个复杂的个体建筑，耶鲁大学前后都是如此，这些建筑富有想象力，也很精致。最初在佛罗里达，他在20世纪40年代末和50年代初设计了一系列创新的房子，这些房子在技术上和美学上都很有创意。其中一个有凹形喷塑屋顶，另一个有起伏的胶合板天篷。

沃克宾馆(1952-3)，我个人最喜欢的，是一个玻璃盒子，白色蜘蛛腿和红色炮弹重量平衡其悬臂百叶窗。尽管鲁道夫后来把注意力转向了公共建筑，但他早期开发的富有表现力的方法仍然盛行。他的雕塑圣殿街车库(1963年)在纽黑文-诗意浇筑混凝土-肯定是世界上最美丽的停车场。

In the 1960s, during a period of sensational success, Rudolph's name was synonymous with architecture in America. The Mental Health Building at the Boston Government Service Center (pictured) was designed during this period

Ever confident Rudolph firmly believed that he was the master of interiors. This spread shows auditorium, library and stairway of the A & A Building at Yale
