Author talk with Thomas Kligerman, "Shingle and Stone: Thomas Kligerman Houses (Monacelli)"

Description

Thomas A. Kligerman was raised in Connecticut and New Mexico, and spent years in France and England as a student. These experiences sparked his interest in the rich history of domestic architecture, gardens and landscapes. Before founding Kligerman Architecture & Design, Tom co-founded Ike Kligerman Barkley with John Ike and Joel Barkley. He began his architecture career at Robert A. M. Stern Architects and received his Bachelor of Arts from Columbia University and his Master of Architecture from Yale School of Architecture. He is passionate about the design process, and loves studying and creating architectural models. He serves on the boards of a number of charitable and educational institutions. Tom and his family enjoy summer weekends racing sailboats on the coast of Rhode Island.

Tom has been immersed in residential architecture for the past 40 years. He is best known for his shingle-style homes that weave inspiration from English and European traditions with the American vernacular. Shingle and Stone presents thirteen highlights from Tom’s portfolio and is illustrated with more than 200 photographs, renderings, and sketches to reveal the design process.
