A vibrant presentation of Stanley Tigerman’s imaginative architectural drawings and working methods
This retrospective paints a new portrait of the legendary architect Stanley Tigerman (1930–2019) through his drawings, collages, and sketches. The book showcases a variety of creative documents and drawing styles, representative of the wide array of Tigerman’s projects and interests: master plans, urban designs, civic infrastructures such as museums and low-income housing, private residences, exhibition designs, furniture, and tableware, as well as architectural cartoons—his so-called Architoons. From the pragmatic and technical to the symbolic and narrative-driven, the drawings bring us into Tigerman’s creative process and capture his unique blend of intellect, wit, and humanistic sensibility.
Featuring previously unpublished drawings from projects including the Illinois Holocaust Museum, the Commonwealth Edison Energy Museum, the Anti-Cruelty Society in Chicago, the Kalamazoo City Plan, and homeware for Swid Powell, this generously illustrated volume highlights the skillful and explorative process behind each project’s final outputs. In addition to providing a stunning example of postmodern hand-drawn architectural representations, this visual journey offers readers a deeper understanding of the working process and significance of drawing in Tigerman’s office, as well as his enduring contribution to the field of architecture.
