"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. Inspired by the legacy of great American architecture, his firm, Robert A.M. Stern Architects, has produced a variety of building types in a range of stylistic vocabularies. The design of houses, for which the firm initially gained notice, remains a cornerstone of the practice, and this major monograph, a companion to the best-selling Robert A.M. Stern: Buildings, thoroughly documents more than thirty houses built since the early 1970s."--BOOK JACKET.
