Architect / United States / Tigerman McCurry Architects

Stanley Tigerman’s Book List

I stopped buying architecture books in 1980, which coincided with my being the architect in residence at the American Academy in Rome where it became clear to me that ideas were the source of a flame that I wished to be near. Since that time my personal library, both at home and at the office, has grown willy-nilly with tomes on religion, philosophy, critical theory, et al. These ten books are the tip of an iceberg that helps to define who I am in the autumn of my life.

Fritz Neumeyer

This brilliant probing of the mind underpinning the work of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe is the only book on that outstanding architect that isn’t sycophantic.

Joseph Rykwert

I have read and reread this book several times. Not many books have been written about architecture with a small “a,” but Rykwert does it brilliantly.
