Omschrijving

With an essay by Ellis Woodman that sets Hamilton's work within a rich historical context, this book details six exquisite buildings categorized as works of sacred and monumental architecture. Three are Roman Catholic chapels, designed for country estates; two are mausoleums designed for London cemeteries; and one is a private bath house--the sole secular building, but one with close formal relationships to the other featured designs on account of its conception, in architectural terms, as a temple. These projects, in terms of their function, cost, and reliance on preindustrial craft skills--including a longstanding and close collaboration with Scottish sculptor Sandy Stoddart--are far removed from the mainstream of twenty-first-century building production. Craig Hamilton, an architect who first developed a fascination for classical culture in his native South Africa, has developed an approach to architecture that is very much in the tradition of Charles Robert Cockerell, who used classical forms as a rich source for inspiration, which he freely modified and set in an unorthodox combination to create a vital contemporary architecture. His work presents a significant challenge to the constrained field of expression within which most contemporary architecture operates and, more convincingly than any architect now working, Hamilton has demonstrated the continued capacity of the classical language to serve as the basis of an architecture that is personal and experimental, yet rich in shared meaning.
