This was an iconic Post Modernist project that dominated my undergraduate years as Germany was the epicentre of the European branch of Po-Mo. Stirling was one of the few of that design cul-de-sac able to engage with the failure of two streams of dogma: 'Corbusian' Modernism and Postmodern Abstraction. Stirling's masterworks in the latter was this Stuttgart Gallery, Rice University and No.1 Poultry. In my opinion anyway!
