You're right, it's not particularly remarkable on the outside. More 'of its time' than anything else really. The nearby Knights of Columbus museum is probably a bit more formally exciting but I couldn't bring myself to go inside!<br /><br />Thanks for the links though, that website is very useful,Charles Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08749776401395551607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3795208825742635713.post-48744070775952200392010-03-02T23:43:08.362+00:002010-03-02T23:43:08.362+00:00Have you ventured as far out as the School of Nurs...Have you ventured as far out as the School of Nursing yet?

His old firm Moore Ruble Yudell were responsible though.Charles Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08749776401395551607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3795208825742635713.post-19612702328434572642010-03-02T15:26:35.683+00:002010-03-02T15:26:35.683+00:00Cheers Charles, for another fascinating wander!
R...Cheers Charles, for another fascinating wander!<br /><br />Re the rehabilitation of Charles Moore though; a difficult feat while the man himself is trying so hard to undermine his own practice's reputation with buildings such as the new(ish) US embassy in Berlin - an experience as bland as hanging out with the members of Coldplay watching beige paint dry. I rather prefer his bonkers themepark stuff...Jimhttp://architectureinberlin.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3795208825742635713.post-24057588921301644102010-03-02T09:42:39.759+00:002010-03-02T09:42:39.759+00:00Cheers Bazza.

If you look at something like the Sainsbury extension to the National Gallery everything is just so much....bigger. The scale of everything is just ramped up. <br /><br />Thanks (again) Lang.

Some of the state capital buildings seemed, to my amateur eye, to display a confidence which may have been seen as, overblown in Europe. I am not sure if I still feel that way.<br />I had better keep reading your fascinating blog!bazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794010156639774028noreply@blogger.com
