Two things have essentially guided my work. One iswhat you might call an interest in and search for an
appropriate modern regionalism. I would put equal
emphasis on both words, 'regional' and 'modern',because regional without modern is reactionary,
and modern without regional is insensitive,
inappropriate. The second one is to seek the
character of the solution in the natureof theproblem, as much as one possibly can.

Thus, the modern style of architecturedesigned by Joseph Allen Stein adapted tovarying geological and climatic conditions.
Stein believed in using building materials intheir original form like he never coveredstone with plaster.
There is a strong relationship and harmonybetween the immediate environment and thebuildings .
