Routledge Around and About Stock Orchard Street - Architecture Book

Explore the architectural significance of 9/10 Stock Orchard Street, a unique house and office project known colloquially as the Straw House. Designed by two architects for their own use and completed in 2000, these buildings represent an experimental approach to design, execution, and inhabitation. This project has consistently challenged traditional wisdom and sparked intense debate among architectural critics. This book provides a deep look into the project through access to all available material records. Rather than offering a single perspective, it presents multi-faceted narratives from various writers. These contributors offer both positive and negative reflections on what the buildings represent, making it a comprehensive resource for anyone interested in architectural debate and experimental design. It is an essential read for students, professionals, and enthusiasts of modern architecture.
