this nymag feature will most likely change the way you think about robert (a.m.) stern:
The architect Robert A.M. Stern occupies a physically impossible position in his profession. As the widely respected dean of the Yale School of Architecture, he sits atop an academic world that treats his buildings with condescension, which means that the people who look up to him also look down on him at the same time. A typical remark, from Alexander Gorlin, one of Stern’s former students and principal of his own firm: “A whole article just about Bob Stern? Does he merit that?” Stern has been called the Martha Stewart of architecture, a comparison suggesting that he’s selling a lifestyle rather than making art. (via)
