“Today, if you want such luxuries as high ceilings and a dining room, an old building is pretty much the only place to find them. Forget Richard Meier and Jean Nouvel and their sleek glass condominiums: for connoisseurs of Manhattan apartments, the real celebrity architects have always been Rosario Candela, J. E. R. Carpenter, and Emery Roth, who designed the best buildings put up between the wars.”

new york is so much more than stern's pathetic misty eyed longing for its hegemonic past. for him, context is a clumsy, vapid collection of dated, stylistic hoohaas. this undermines the development of our discipline and the public's education about contemporary architecture...the kind that isnt gold plated disney. as an educator, stern should be ashamed.
Not without,
ditto.
