I grew up looking at architecture, admiring not architects,
but steel workers. Interesting that architecture is our most
public art in many
ways, older than drama, more present than film, but the
artist's are not very public at all. The most public
architect in my memory, was at the center of a bitter
attempt to heal, controversy that I remember as one of
America's most shameful displays of racism.

Thank you for calling Central Services this has not been a
