Stirling's last on corner of Poultry(No. 1) & Queen Vic Sts, London City...........
(JSMWAL completed as MWPL architects).
From close to Bank U/G station. Royal Exchange on right.
Around a light- well; and regarded as somewhat "Post-modern".
Jim Stirling's 1 Poultry St contrasts with Peter Foggo's 60 Queen Vic St. Though close to each other, and at much the same time, these are opposite philosophies -- Stirling's in solid-banded French sandstone, Foggo's in high-tech with brooding bronze patina.
(Mansion House on left.)

Transition styles stonework Canterbury cathedral..................
Approximately: Nave 1378 - 1405; south-west tower 1423 - 34; central tower 1490 - 7; -- particularly in the Perpendicular style. Architecturally, Canterbury was revolutionary in England.
And here we can see the change from earlier round-head opening arches to the pointed Gothic, yet a unity from material and integrity.
Few of the great cathedrals were built at once. Many were altered and contain work done in several centuries from the 11th to the 15th, yet unified -- a great lesson in artistic expression and humility. Each architect saw his addition, such as the new nave at Canterbury, as part of the whole. In the long succession through the centuries they reconceived the building as a further, slightly different, unity. This is a wonderful thing with the result that many medieval cathedrals are not just a collection of beautiful bits but total works of art.
Canterbury: An attractive centre combining historic buildings and streets with appropriate recent development -- time indexing. Great cathedral and Close. Cloisters. Marvellous old stonework; limestone, flint, and brick. Butter Square. Pedestrian shopping streets. Half-timbered buildings incorporated and used. Streetscape of human scale -- popular.
