One of very few writers to be awarded the RIBAâs highest honour, the Royal Gold Medal, in 2014, and author of countless books and essays, his influence over the past 60 years cannot be underestimated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this new edition of his memoir, he posthumously expands upon the first edition by 20,000 words, delving deeper into how his lifeâs experiences shaped his working life. He addresses the dualities between which he had to navigate: Jewish\/Polish, Polish\/British and later Practice\/Scholarship. He spent most of his working life between the US and UK, and worked as a designer, teacher and a writer; as such, his groundbreaking ideas and work have had a major impact on the thinking of architects and designers since the 1960s, and continue to do so to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51742387765591,"sku":"9781041077275","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781041077275.jpg?v=1758384664","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/remembering-places-a-memoir-9781041077275","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
