Summary:

"Central to the work of Robert A. M. Stern is a commitment to architecture that reinterprets the past to serve contemporary life. Buildings and Towns explores the application of the principle to a wide range of building types, including libraries, university buildings, cultural centers, residential and office towers, health care facilities, and retail complexes built throughout the world over the past twenty years. Among the sixty-four featured projects are the Miami Beach Public Library, the vast Zubiarte retail complex in Bilbao, Spain, Torre Almirante in Rio de Janeiro, multiple projects for Disney, including the Ambassador Hotel in Japan, and a range of apartment towers culminating with Fifteen Central Park West, the new landmark residential structure in New York City. During this period, Robert A. M. Stern Architects has emerged as the premier campus architect in the United States, with completed projects at Harvard Business School, the University of Virginia, Rice University, Stanford University, Dartmouth College, the University of Michigan, among others. In most cases, these buildings not only extend the architectural vocabulary of the campus but also play a vital role in shaping the overall plan for the future."--Publisher's website.
