At least once a year, the center of gravity in the architecture world shifts to 964 Chapel Street in New Haven, where School of Architecture dean Robert A. M. Stern '65MArch has a third-floor apartment overlooking the Green. Since becoming dean in 1998, Stern has used the space to host an architectural salon, with frequent cocktail parties and dinners following events at the school. On April 29, the room was full of architectural luminaries: faculty, visiting critics, and guests, fresh from the semester's final reviews. Among them were visiting professors and Pritzker Prize winners Zaha Hadid (right window, center) and Frank Gehry (right window, far right) and American Institute of Architects Gold Medalist Cesar Pelli (right window, far left). Like any good host, Stern himself (left window, at far left) was not front and center.
