On the eve of the fiftieth anniversary of his architectural firm, Robert A.M. Stern articulates the principles that govern his design process through a rich visual presentation of projects from all aspects of his practice and all periods of his work.

Robert A.M. Stern Architects has a wide-ranging practice, with projects for museums and cultural institutions, colleges and universities, commercial and residential developers, and, famously, private residential clients throughout the United States and Europe. Central to the work is a commitment to an architecture that reinterprets the past to serve contemporary life.
