About This Item
New York: The Monacelli Press, 1996. First edition. Hardcover. vg. Large quarto. 496pp. Original pictorial dust jacket over cloth, with blind-stamped lettering on front cover and spine. Color frontispiece. Fascinating work being the first monograph to focus solely on more than 15 years of the Robert A. M. Stern Architects's non-residential work. Divided thematically, it contains over thirty projects, each thoroughly documented with extensive photography and drawings. The introduction to the book, as well as those to each section, is an unusually personal essay discussing Stern's education in the era of functionalist Modernism, his efforts to further and even to reestablish traditions, and the social, cultural, and symbolic obligations that must inform all successful buildings. Minor rubbing on covers and along edges of dust jacket. Tiny tip of lower corners bumped, thus affecting very first and very last pages throughout. Dust jacket in overall good, binding and interior in very good condition.
