Overview
In over thirty years of practice, Robert A. M. Stern has developed a distinctive architecture committed to the synthesis of tradition and innovation and, above all, to the creation and enhancement of a meaningful sense of place. This monograph, covering the years 1999?2002, is the fourth in a series on Stern's work. The volume includes more than one hundred projects, including houses and apartments, buildings for cultural institutions and universities, office and commercial structures, government facilities, and designs for products, including fabric and tableware.

This is the fourth in a set of chronological compilations documenting the work of a prolific architectural firm, detailing projects brought to fruition, currently underway, and not yet constructed. The firm operates under the conviction that the inherent iconoclasm of modernism combined with its pseudoscientific approach compromises architecture's grand purpose<-->the physical definition of space and place. It strives to embrace and define a style called modern traditionalism. Lacks a subject index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknew.com)Book Details
