Spatial language: The ornament of the Harold Washington Library
Inland Architect, March '92, p48-50
1992
Thomas Beeby suggested in 1965 that modern architects did not abandon ornament but rather moved away from 'structure-ornamented' to 'ornament-constructed' - the entire building became a free standing element of ornament; this however reduced the narrative potential of architecture; develops justification for the use of ornament on modern buildings.
