Have we lost our heritage through Orthodox Modernism? Curtis B. Wayne continues some of the themes explored on last week's discussion with Wilfried Wang. Listen as Curtis revisits the Cooper Union discussion and ties many previous ideas together on a passionate and solo episode of Burning Down the House. This program was sponsored by Heritage Foods USA.
"Can you imagine for a minute what New York would be like if every corner had something as unusual as the Guggenheim Museum?"
"Reinvention, I think, is really an infantile reaction [for Cooper Union]."
--Curtis B. Wayne on Burning Down the House
