2 comments about The World War II Memorial: A Grateful Nation Remembers.
- This is a wonderfully realized book on a memorial that is a wonderful tribute to the greatest generation of behalf on a grateful nation. I appreciated the history lesson on American's envolvement in World War II, and the images of the memorial itself are well conceived. The memorial, though colossel, is somehow intimate and fitting, and is full of symbolism. I only wish my grandfather had seen it, but alas he died before it was completed. The nation owes Bob Dole a huge thanks for getting this long deserved memeorial built, thank you Senater Dole, you make me very proud.
- THANK YOU for ALL you have given us...Freedom, peace of mind, dedication to our country!
This book is a Beautiful tribute to our Heros! This memorial is a LONG TIME COMING, but it is Finally here!
I Pray ALL vets get a chance to visit this memorial!
Thank you, again!

1 comments about Breuer Houses.
- Trying to pin down the work of Marcel Breuer is hard let alone putting into a neat package and keeping it only to residential. Ms.Driller's Book,Breuer Houses,not only misses some very important aspects of Marcel Breuer's work, the presentation of it is very poor also. Graphically, the pictures, plans, & drawings are small and illegiable. To try and analyze the plans with her descriptions is a chore. The cover is a variation off the catalogue produce for Breuer for an exhibition organized by the Metropolitan Museum of Art designed by Chermayeff & Geismar in 1972.( But then if your are just an architectural student now you would not know that.) The book wants to be about the houses but she only writes about a few and then catalogues the rest of the houses in the back. She also missed a house. Kacmarcik's in St. Paul MN., which is in the Masaello's Book Architecture Without Rules. Breuer's architecture was about technique,materials, the courage of conception and the drawings are critical to their delivery.Not having sections or details leaves me to wonder what her dissertation looked like. Ms. Driller's comments run from fact to opinion and comments such as "I never got into the house but saw it form the outside" I think misses the whole point of a Breuer piece. Did we really get a book with "the fragrance of dimensions, the juice of stone", I do not think so.That one intangible ingredient is also missing, that one percent which is art.
