Description

Number One Poultry Speaks explores the complex history and design of this iconic London building. Commissioned in 1985 by Peter Palumbo, it was designed by James Stirling, Michael Wilford, and Associates over several years, with completion finally achieved in 1998. The book delves into the conversations between those involved with One Poultry, including its developer, architect, and planning officer, offering a unique insight into its creation. The building's story is told through original sketches and drawings, as well as letters from distinguished individuals protesting against proposed alterations that would have threatened its listing. This collection of voices provides a nuanced understanding of the architectural debates surrounding One Poultry during its lifetime. Devised and edited by Marco Iuliano, in collaboration with the University of Liverpool and the Royal Institute of British Architects, this book sheds new light on a pivotal moment in architectural history.
