 Metropolis Insites: Ashes to Ashes
In the early Seventies, shortly after the opening of Rudolph's Lindemann Mental Health Center in downtown Boston, a patient responded to the swirling Corbusian forms in the building's chapel by igniting himself beneath a light-cannon on the crude slab altar.
Arguably the most talented architect of his generation, Rudolph would lurk in the back of lecture halls and sneak out before he was seen.
The materials list for the project reads, in part: "ventilation duct, electronics, and portion of the architect Paul Rudolph's cremated remains." Bain is quiet about his intentions; he says only that he wanted to "dust the interior with a symbolic residue of the architect." Now we can all breathe deep: Paul Rudolph's demons are sleeping.

A 48-year-old Florida high school designed by modern architect Paul Rudolph could be torn down for a parking lot.

Paul Rudolph, one of the 20th century's most iconoclastic architects, is best know--and most maligned--for his large "brutalist" buildings, like the Yale Art and Architecture Building.
Along with Rudolph's personal essays and renderings, duotone photographs by Ezra Stoller and Joseph Molitor, and insightful text by Joseph King and Christopher Domin, this compelling new book conveys the lightness, timelessness, strength, materiality, and transcendency of Rudolph's work.
It is an impressive collection, and illustrates the lighter side of Rudolph before he became caught up in the monumental forms that dominated the latter part of his career.
