When he talks about "the agronomist", RTJ2 should have been a little more specific. Who's he talking about, exactly?


Frankly, those comments come across as uppity and ignorant.

Interesting that he equated his dad's designs as being more budget-minded architecture following the Depression and WWII. And that the Golden Age architects had more of an artistic flair b/c the could afford to be.

Could it be that RJT Sr. was a minimalist? I certainly don't look at courses like Bellerive and think that.
