Synopsis

To commemorate the life and work of Dennis Sharp (1933-2010), Sharp Words collates together a variety of essays that touch upon each of his architectural fascinations - among them, glass architecture, picture palaces, masters of concrete and English modernism. Punctuating these texts are a number of editorials from his days as editor of AAQ, which graphically as much as intellectually offer emblems of his time at the AA.
