Multi-award winning architect Robert A. M. Stern is the former dean of the Yale University School of Architecture and previously a professor of architecture and director of the Historic Preservation Program at the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation at Columbia University. His work has been exhibited at numerous galleries and universities and is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Deutsches Architekturmuseum, the Denver Museum of Art, and the Art Institute of Chicago. He also designed the Disney Yacht and Beach Club Resorts, which opened at Walt Disney World on this day in 1990. The Yacht Club Resort is a splendid five-story resort reminiscent of the summertime “shingle style” hotels of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. It is located right next to the Beach Club Resort, a more relaxed, pastel-toned resort, shaded by broad oak trees and lapped by the gentle waters of 25-acre Crescent Lake. The two resorts also boast Stormalong Bay, a 750,000-gallon, three-acre swimming pool, complete with whirlpools, lagoons, slides, and meandering waterways.
