Debate
and banter between the irascible Philip Johnson and the equally articulate and
opinionated Robert A. M. Stern generates a provocative combination of astute
commentary and personal observation on the state of architecture in the
twentieth century.
Recognized as the dean of American architecture, Philip Johnson had a profound
influence on the next generation of architects, including Robert A. M.
Stern. Robert A. M. Stern has conducted
a series of ten interviews with Philip Johnson, each covering a decade of his
life, that provide an illuminating assessment of a significant period of
American architecture.
