Robert A. M. Stern

    Robert A. M. Stern is een Amerikaanse architect wiens werk algemeen wordt geclassificeerd als postmodern, hoewel hij de nadruk legt op context en continuïteit van tradities. Zijn ontwerpen kenmerken zich door een specifieke focus op integratie met de omgeving en het behoud van architectonisch erfgoed. Stern zelf beschrijft zijn aanpak als "moderne traditionalist", wat zijn verlangen weerspiegelt om het verleden en het heden te verbinden in zijn architectonische creaties.

      The architectural heritage of Newport, Rhode Island, reflects the vibrant history of its inhabitants. The city's buildings showcase a range of attitudes, styles, and tastes from colonial settlers seeking freedom in the seventeenth century to the wealthy socialites of the late nineteenth century who indulged in life's pleasures. Simple clapboard houses and religious structures coexist with opulent summer cottages and mansions built from the finest materials, creating a diverse picture of American architecture. Renowned photographer Roberto Schezen captures this architectural range, focusing on the remarkable private homes and compounds throughout Newport. His keen eye highlights the exquisite decorative details, grand interiors, and dramatic settings that establish Newport as a national architectural treasure. The book features various styles from the American architectural lexicon, including Greek Revival, Stick and Shingle Styles, and the eclectic grandeur of the Gilded Age. The accompanying text narrates the stories behind numerous residences and public buildings, revealing the personalities involved in constructing landmarks like the Breakers, Marble House, Touro Synagogue, the Quaker Meeting House, the Newport Casino, and the Redwood Library.

    • L'architecture américaine d'aujourd'hui représente une histoire orale provocatrice de l'architecture américaine récente, tirée d'une série d'entretiens à bâtons rompus que Barbaralee Diamonstein, écrivain, éditeur, enseignante et interviewer à la télévision a conduits avec quatorze architectes renommés. Ces conversations publiques, toujours riches en informations et souvent amusantes, ont été, à l'origine, enregistrées par vidéo à la New School for Social Research/Parsons School of Design. Le travail de chacun des architectes y est examiné ; les sujets évoqués dans ces entretiens comprennent : l'impact de l'architecture sur la vie urbaine, les réglementations gouvernementales et de zoning, la consommation d'énergie, le recyclage, la conservation historique, 'le sens du lieu', les systèmes économiques de logement, les relations entre l'architecture et les arts et les implications du 'post-modernisme'.
