Description

Devoting his life to save The usa’s architecture, Richard Nickel used to be inflamed by the destruction of what he looked as if it would be art and disturbed by what this destruction said about the society in which we lived. Today he’s remembered through the photographs he left at the back of in addition to the thousands of notes and letters–funny, angry, and at all times eloquent–that detail a lifetime of passion and determination. He took risks, spoke his mind, and championed an oversized cause. His rebellion against the shortsighted fail to remember of an American genius, the architect Louis Sullivan, appeals to a new generation interested in conservation–whether of old buildings or natural resources. This book is a collection of more than 200 letters and photographs if you want to inspire and intrigue readers. Images of Chicago buildings include the Garrick Building, the Chicago Stock Exchange, and the Auditorium Theater. Images of American buildings include Frank Lloyd Wright’s Price Tower in Oklahoma and Louis Sullivan’s banks in Iowa and Ohio.
