A thought-provoking, elegantly crafted collection of essays by one
of architecture's most influential figures Among practicing
architects today, perhaps only Robert A. M. Stern once contemplated
a career as a historian, an interest that has informed both his
built work and his writings. Tradition and Invention in
Architecture brings together 26 of Stern's essays and conversations
from the past five decades. Topics range from modern classicism,
American housing, gardens, and New York City to the work of Norman
Foster, Louis Kahn, Charles Moore, and Robert Moses. Reminders of
Stern's own broad career in architecture are found in his thoughts
on his PBS television series Pride of Place, his discussion of the
planning of Seaside and Celebration, Florida, and his view on
institutional branding through architecture. Known as much for his
candor as for his profound knowledge of American architecture,
Stern's observations on the architecture of his time are equally
valuable. As he writes, "For an architect, writing is one way of
reconsidering history while working in the present-always in search
of the best from the past and the present, which allows us to
invent for the future."
