Summary:

The light- and breeze-filled modern houses in Florida of the 1950s and the hard-lined silhouette of Yale's Art and Architecture Building (built in 1962 and perhaps his best known work) are the two images that come to mind when one thinks of Paul Rudolph. However, few people know the work of the last decades of his life, from the 1970s through the 1990s. Published here for the first time, and hand-picked by Rudolph himself, these final works are explored through masterful pencil drawings, models, and photographs, as well as an interview-his last-with architect Peter Blake. Author Roberto de Alba considers these projects in the context of Rudolph's early success and explores the building he designed from 1969 to 1996. The book includes an astonishing variety of projects, many built, including houses, towers, bungalows, chapels, corporate offices, and urban plans of a monumental scale. All show the complicated interplay of space, light, and mass that are the trademarks of Rudolph's genius. Through de Alba's close contact with the architect before his death, Rudolph's own personal vision is conveyed in descriptive texts and accompanying images. Paul Rudolph: The Late Work is designed as a companion volume to Paul Rudolph: The Florida Houses, and is the second in a planned three-volume set of the complete works of this legendary architect.
