I used to really like Stern, but he got so quirky, he became almost a parody of himself.

 

So true. I related to Stern as Stanford White--loved his shingle style stuff--but I think his Disney commission became his reality. Was actually inside some of his houses and they are parodies--Disneyana of the most Mickey Mouse sort.

I'm not against humor in architecture, but I draw the line when the joke's on the project instead of in it.
