Reviews
"By now, most New Yorkers with any interest in real estate or architecture have an intuitive sense of just how active Robert A.M. Stern Architects has been in the city over the past decade and a half. But it takes a book like City Living , sumptuously published in January by The Monacelli Press, to remind us of the variety and quality that characterize the firm's work. This oversized 360-page tome runs through 15 projects completed by the firm as well as 16 more that are in the works, providing a brief discussion of each. With lavish and abundant photographs, it also includes excerpts from a lengthy discussion moderated by the architecture critic Paul Goldberger with Stern and his colleagues Paul Whalen, Daniel Lobitz and Michael Jones. Their shoptalk about creating iconic buildings in the Big Apple was great fun to read--and added some welcome and insightful substance to the visual delights of the book." -- The Real Deal "In the new book, four partners of Robert A.M. Stern Architects--Robert A.M. Stern, Paul L. Whalen, Daniel Lobitz and Michael D. Jones--present 15 completed apartment complexes and a portfolio of 18 projects under construction or in design around the world." -- Real Estate Weekly, "In the monumental book City Living, presenting residential buildings by Robert A.M. Stern Architects, we find a good amount of graphic information and short explanations about the high-rise apartment houses raised by this practice in the past decades." - Arquitectura Viva "By now, most New Yorkers with any interest in real estate or architecture have an intuitive sense of just how active Robert A.M.

Synopsis
Today we build all over the world. We bring what we know, and we learn from our clients and our travels. And the fundamental reason that we succeed is that we are committed to architecture as portraits of places. -- Robert A.M. Stern In City Living , Paul L. Whalen, Daniel Lobitz, and Michael D. Jones, partners at Robert A.M. Stern Architects, present sixteen completed apartment complexes and a portfolio of sixteen further projects in progress in New York and major cities across the United States and in Europe, Asia, and South America. Over the past fifteen years, the high-rise residential apartment house has emerged as the focus of contemporary architectural practice, challenging the commercial office building for pride of place on city skylines around the world. Drawing on the rich heritage of apartment house design in New York City from the 1920s and 1930s, the RAMSA partners bring a unique perspective to this building type, creating strong forms with visually intriguing facades that meet the ground and touch the sky with elegance and dignity. These designs extend the classical tradition while inflecting toward the simplicity and abstraction of modernism. Essential to the planning process is the integration of buildings into the cityscape and the urban neighborhood setting. The base of the apartment houses is articulated to reflect the scale of the surrounding buildings, and a portion of the site can be reserved for townhouses that create a transition between old and new., Through fifteen completed projects in metropolises across the globe, the firm of Robert A.M. Stern Architects presents the principles and practices behind thoughtful residences that sensitively integrate into the fabric of cities., Today we build all over the world.
