У книзі Designs for Living Роджер Х. Зайфтер, Ренді М. Коррелл, Грант Ф. Марані та Гері Л. Брюер, які очолюють житлову практику в архітектурному бюро Robert A.M. Stern Architects, представляють п'ятнадцять будинків, реалізованих фірмою протягом останніх десяти років. Від сучасних інтерпретацій стилю ґонту до вишуканих середземноморських дизайнів, будинки стилістично різноманітні, що відображає глибокі знання RAMSA історії та прецедентів. Кожен партнер надає інформацію про процес проектування та свій індивідуальний підхід до роботи з клієнтами.

Будинки розташовані в драматичних місцях від Напи та Сономи до вражаючого узбережжя Гемптонів та Нової Англії. Незалежно від того, чи з видом на океан, чи розташовані на схилі гори, ці чудові будинки демонструють акцент архітекторів на важливості контексту та їхню відданість дослідженню природи місця та довкілля. Кожен будинок посилається на народну архітектурну спадщину, характерну для його регіону, водночас витончено відображаючи його природне оточення.

Поєднуючи сучасний спосіб життя з традиційною американською естетикою, ці резиденції є винятковими як своєю позачасовістю, так і здатністю викликати розмову з минулим — діалог, який, на думку партнерів RAMSA, лежить в основі архітектури.

«Хоча багато архітектурних фірм скорочують житлову сторону своєї практики, щоб взяти на себе більш комерційні та інституційні замовлення, Robert A.M. Stern Architects (RAMSA), що є лідером архітектури 100-го століття, зберігає незмінну відданість будинкам. Від комплексу в Малібу, змодельованого за зразком середземноморського містечка на пагорбі, до особняка в стилі ґонту в Гемптонсі, їхні роботи демонструють не лише майстерність історичних стилів, але й справжню спритність у поєднанні традиційних ідіом у ритмі сучасного світу».
— Architectural Digest

«Книга пропонує читачам п'ятнадцять будинків, завершених партнерами RAMSA протягом останнього десятиліття. Стилістично різноманітні, історично обґрунтовані, контекстуально доречні та функціонально актуальні, кожен з них пропонує свій власний урок позачасовості». —New York Spaces

«Більшість людей ніколи не матимуть житла, проєкт Роберта А.М. Стерна. Більшість людей навіть ніколи не побачать будинку, проєктованого Стерном, деканом Єльської школи архітектури та улюбленим архітектором вишуканих привілейованих людей. Його будинки, всі вони екстравагантно деталізовані та вкорінені в архітектурі минулих століть, приховані за високими живоплотами або на кінцях довгих під'їзних шляхів у таких місцях, як Монтесіто, Іст-Гемптон, Мартас-Він'ярд та острів Кіава. Але зараз відбувається певна демократизація, принаймні в тому, як представлені будинки Стерна». — 1st Dibs Introspective

At its best, the college campus is the representation of beliefs, of the specific character of a place, of a community, of an institution. It is the setting for the continually evolving interaction of people and ideas over time. 
 - Robert A. M. Stern

Ss an architect, educator, and architectural historian, Robert A. M. Stern brings special knowledge and expertise to issues of campus master planning and the design of academic buildings. This unique volume collects more than fifty projects by the firm for the most prestigious institutions in America - Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Georgetown, Stanford, University of Virginia - and focuses on the importance of the historic character of the place in charting the future. 

In surveying the American campus, Stern begins with Thomas Jefferson’s Academical Village at the University of Virginia and then considers its many heirs. He organizes campuses into three principal paradigms: the Embedded Campus, those closely connected with the fabric of the cities and towns in which they sit; the Citadel Campus, those perched above and removed from the surroundings; and the Garden Campus, those whose buildings sit in a more casual configuration in the landscape.

Each campus is described in detail, with historic photographs and campus plans illustrating its development. Projects by Robert A. M. Stern Architects are placed in their context, providing a complete view of these distinguished places of learning.

Robert A. M. Stern is the founding partner of Robert A. M. Stern Architects and dean of the Yale School of Architecture. He is the author of the monumental five-volume history of New York’s architecture and urban development, culminating with New York 2000. Major current architectural projects include the new residential colleges at Yale University and the George W. Bush Presidential Center in Dallas.

History is the lens through which Robert A.M. Stern and his fifteen design partners envision an architecture for today. Robert A.M. Stern Architects: Buildings and Projects 2010–2014 is the seventh volume in a series that encompasses the breadth of the firm’s work since Stern’s earliest projects in the mid-1960s.

Emphasizing the output of the office over the past five years, this volume covers the most globalized period of practice so far. Featuring profiles of well over 100 designs built domestically and abroad, Robert A.M. Stern Architects: Buildings and Projects 2010–2014 includes significant projects in Asia, from China to India. In the United States, the firm’s educational, cultural, commercial, religious, and residential work continues to broaden its exploration of traditional and contemporary architectural expression.

This volume presents the firm’s continued influence on campuses across the United States, reflecting the position that education holds in its ethic, with new additions to Drexel University in Philadelphia, Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and the University of Colorado Boulder. The office also remains key to the ongoing development of its home in New York City, with new residential towers on the High Line and in Greenwich Village.

Designs for Living: The Houses of Robert A. M. Stern Architects

Robert A. M. Stern Architects, over its forty-year history and across a wide range of building types, has defined principles common to all projects. Stern articulates the ideas that govern his design process through this rich visual presentation of all types of his work: museums and cultural institutions, colleges and universities, commercial and residential developers, and, famously, private residential clients throughout the United States and Europe.

Evidence serves as a visual synthesis of Stern's methodologies, revealing the firm's vision through juxtapositions of building, material and landscape: "We never think of just the building. We like to think of the next bigger thing—what other buildings will come next to it, but also the siting and landscaping. Abstract compositional principles do interest me but not when I begin a design. I begin with a cultural assessment of the building as a type, the place it is set in, and lastly its obligations to its particular moment in time."

Through 400 illustrations, Stern illuminates key architectural concepts by examining components: stunning windows harmonizing with their views, elegant entryways, meticulous stonework, homes conversing with their settings. On each page, Stern pairs images that challenge the idea that tradition means statis. Rather, tradition can be interpreted to suit all situations in an increasingly complex world.

Designs for Living: The Houses of Robert A. M. Stern Architects

I think that all architecture comes from what went before. And how carefully one hews to precedent or how many liberties one takes, in my view, is part of a larger set of judgments as to what is, or could be called, “appropriate.” Appropriate from every point of view, especially from the site, the cultural expectations of a community and of the specific client. — Robert A. M. Stern

Central to the work of Robert A. M. Stern is a commitment to an architecture that reinterprets the past to serve contemporary life. This monograph, the fifth volume since Stern opened his practice in 1969, explores the application of this principle to a wide range of building types, including libraries, university buildings, cultural centers, offices, towers, and private residences.

Focused on the years 2004 through 2009, an exceptionally productive period for Stern’s firm, this volume includes designs for the Miami Beach, Jacksonville, and Clearwater Public Libraries in Florida, the vast Zubiarte retail complex in Bilbao, Spain, two new residential colleges at Yale University, the widely acclaimed 15 Central Park West condominium in New York, Comcast, a crystalline addition to the Philadelphia skyline, and the George W. Bush Presidential Center in Dallas, Texas.

In a conversation with renowned architecture critic Paul Goldberger, Stern discusses the principles that have guided the firm since its inception, focusing on the collaborative nature of the work and the importance of precedent and context. He also describes his own role as an educator, as dean of the architecture school at Yale University, and his deep interest in the history of architecture, first awakened during his student days at Yale.
