		Stirling would have contributed something beefily original to that site: his rejected designs for the extension are the first thing you see on the wall as you enter his office, mute testament to what might have been.

	Stirling
		James Stirling, 1926-1992, of Great Britain was one of that country's best-known architects particularly since his 1963 project at Leicester University, the engineering building.
		We honor James Stirling—a prodigy for so many years—as a leader of the great transition from the Modern Movement to the architecture of the New—an architecture that once more has recognized historical roots, once more has close connections with the buildings surrounding it, once more can be called a new tradition.
		Originality within this tradition is Stirling's distinction: in the old "modern times," 45 degree angles in plan and section; today, startling juxtapositions and transpositions of clearly classical and 19th century references.

		In renewing the value of Stirling’s contribution to our collective understanding of the city, and of urban life, the CCA and the LSE awarded architect Teddy Cruz, the James Stirling Memorial Lecture Prize in May 2004.
		The Stirling Lectures jury unanimously agreed that Cruz’s blend of theory and design, and his critical approach to the social and political dynamics that determine the character of the “informal city” were significant contemporary reflections on the way James Stirling approached urban design.
