About the author
Robert A.M. Stern
89 books7 followersRobert 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.
