Saving Paul Rudolph on a Budget
While Robert A.M. Stern pools together the millions of dollars donated to save his favorite Paul Rudolph creation on Yale's campus, several thousand miles away finds the people of Sarasota, Florida deciding what to do with their own Rudolph buildings, chiefly, if they should tear down his Riverview High School. It's an interesting story from the local press, in the Herald Tribune. Getting away from the money involved with restoration projects like Stern's and into a place where, despite the town already building a $135 million dollar replacement, a handful of architecture fans and the Sarasota Architecture Foundation are trying desperately, and even succeeding on some occasions, to not see the building demolished and turned into a parking lot (which is exactly what's in the agenda and has been for some time). If you're at all a Rudolph fan, it's definitely worth a read (and maybe a donation to their cause, Revive Rudolph's Riverview). Email This Post |
