Description: This monograph, the fifth volume since Stern opened his practice in 1969, explores his commitment to an architecture that reinterprets the past to serve contemporary life.
Review Quotes:
"Stern ably tells his stories, as do the spectacular photographs and drawings in this weighty tome. Unlike many neo-conservatives who genuflect at a monolithic altar of the past, Stern has a playfully pluralistic relationship to architectural history and contemporary design. And unlike the hippest of the hip, he has no need to dadaistically defy or defame the architectural canon . . . For that and more, this book warrants our appreciative attention." - Norman Weinstein, ArchNewsNow
