Going Strong at Age 73

Architect Robert Stern and media tour the George W. Bush Presidential Center, October 2011, in DallasWhat do the Museum for African Art in New York City and the George W. Bush Presidential Center and Library in Dallas, Texas have in common?

Both of these projects, currently under construction, are the designs of postmodernist architect Robert A. M. Stern. Stern also served on The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors from 1992 to 2003, so you can thank him for many of the buildings you see at Florida's Disney empire, including the Yacht Club Resort.

Robert Stern, born on May 23, 1939. Happy birthday!
