The Texas Rangers: Notes from the Architectural Underground

By Alexander Caragonne

Between 1951 and 1957, a group of young men came to teach at the University of Texas School of Architecture in Austin. These Texas Rangers, as they later came to be called - Bernhard Hoesli, Colin Rowe, John Hejduk, Robert Slutzky, Lee Hodgden, John Shaw, and Werner Seligmann, among others - created an unprecedented teaching programme that challenged the important pedagogies of the time, and that contained in large part the origins and explanations for a postmodern revolution in architecture. Ten years in the making, Alexander Caragonne's illustrated story documents one of the most significant chapters in the history of postwar American architectural education.
