A Building is Not Just a Building

Book Abstract by: AcaDemon     


This paper looks at the differing opinions with regards to the J. Paul Getty Museum and the way it was built. Reviews from
the Los Angeles Times and the Atlanta Constitution Journal contend that a building is not just a building. The two critics from the above newspapers agree and disagree with regards to certain points about the building. From the paper: "Ouroussoff writes in the Times: "Of the two assessments, Ouroussoff's seems by far the more accurate. From my own visit to the museum I must say that it seemed very much a premodern structure resting like a fortress on a hill from a time long, long before Frank Lloyd Wright would make so many people believe that glass was an acceptable material for walls and that white was the only color that one needed."
