Sir James Frazer Stirling is often referred to as a "master of styles" because he went through several creative periods during his career. His engineering faculty building at the University of Leicester is considered a pioneer of high-tech architecture, while the fifteen years younger Staatsgalerie in Stuttgart is a typical example of postmodernism. Despite this stylistic diversity, James Stirling's buildings exhibit a high level of architectural culture, as evidenced by the awarding of the Pritzker Prize for architecture in 1981.
