ICAA Philadelphia presents RAMSA’s Founding Partner Robert A. M. Stern for a virtual lecture where he will discuss the influence of Philadelphia on his more than half-century of practice as an architect, historian, and educator. Stern will chronicle youthful trips to Philadelphia with his family, discuss architects who have influenced his practice—Louis Kahn, George Howe, and Robert Venturi among them—and highlight some of the firm’s work throughout the city and along the Main Line, including Comcast Center, the McNeil Center for Early American Studies, the Museum of the American Revolution, and projects at Villanova University.
