For a testament to the tremendous energy and range of Stanislaus von Moos’ scholarship, consider the breadth of topics found in the recent star-studded, handsomely bound festschrift devoted to him, which includes contributions from Denise Scott Brown, Jean-Louis Cohen, Thomas Hirschhorn and Jacques Herzog.
