Robert A. M. Stern is dedicated to the synthesis of tradition and innovation. In more than thirty-five years of practice, he has produced a wide range of building types with a variety of stylistic influences, all inspired by the great legacy of American architecture. His firm, Robert A. M. Stern Architects, was first recognized for its distinguished houses, and residential design remains the cornerstone of the practice. This beautifully illustrated monograph―a companion to the best-selling Robert A. M. Stern: Houses―presents twenty-six of the firm's most memorable houses. Located in diverse settings across North America―from a valley in Colorado with sweeping views of the Aspen mountains to a bluff overlooking Long Island Sound to an island off the coast of British Columbia―these remarkable houses reveal the architect's emphasis on the importance of context and his dedication to exploring the nature of space. Each house invokes the vernacular architectural heritage particular to its region while gracefully reflecting its unique natural surroundings. Whether they are Shingle Style "cottages" by the sea, colonial Georgian country estates, or elegant Regency designs, Stern's houses are unique both for their timelessness and their ability to evoke a conversation with the past―a dialogue he believes lies at the heart of architecture. Pilar Viladas is the design editor of the New York Times Magazine.

About the book >.>.> Contemporary practice and theory remind me of the pop song "Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover": they do anything but confront a situation head-on. When architects meet to discuss their art they pose issue after issue in a restless search to avoid addressing the simple but profound cir- cumstances of architecture. These "issues" include literary theory and social science, cyberspace and many more. But what of architecture itself? For me, architecture is enough-difficult but full of possibilities. For me, archi- tecture is an expression of the real world-the built world in the service of individuals and institutions. It is the art of construction, not deconstruction; of representation, not communication. It is the solidity of the here-and-now. Put another way, architecture is the stage on which humanity plays out its ever-changing drama. It is the stage, not the drama; the setting, not the performer. It is not inhabited sculpture, or drawings, or performance, to name but a few of the things it is. N° de réf. du vendeur Batch-FM501-VG-11059
