In a distinguished career that has spanned more than 35 years, Robert A. M. Stern has remained true to his principles: “I see myself not as an architectural biographer but as a portraitist devoted to the synthesis of my clients’ ambitions and the social constraints in which my buildings are to be realized.” Whether designing a residential, commercial or institutional building, Stern believes a structure’s form should fit, but not be confined by, its function. “Architecture is like the design of mittens, not gloves,” he says. “Gloves are too tightly shaped to the fingers of a single hand; mittens give you wiggle room for the future.” -AD 100
