designs and building materials, must still espouse time-honored
massings, perspective, scale and unities, all the while mindful
that Brutalist architecture elements have proven futile, however
tempered by the patina of time, or, as in this case, garnished by
deconstructed decorative bric-a-brac.
Gehry, habitually anything but Brutalist, has the ability to eschew
the existing design and, instead, unleash the genius of Bilbao and
Los Angeles, for which this writer holds him in highest esteem.
As Eisenhower and Patton deconstructed tanks and reassembled
them, so must this scheme be reformed and reconstructed.
Eisenhower���s life in history was awe-inspiring. So should his
memorial be.
