About the author

Robert Arthur Morton Stern, usually credited as Robert A. M. Stern, was an American architect.

Stern's work is generally classified as postmodern, though a more useful classification would be a particular emphasis on context and the continuity of traditions. He may have been the first architect to use the term "postmodernism", but more recently he has used the phrase "modern traditionalist" to describe his work.

[James · Rating 3 out of 5]

While there's a fair amount of text, I mostly skipped over it looking for pictures of smaller commercial buildings and residences of which I found none. It's mansions and grand civil buildings exclusively. Still a fun skim for those of us who like historic architecture. Printed on glossy paper with good black and white reproductions.
