	Daniel Burnham Architecture, Art review by Alan Artner
		Still, Burnham is a legendary figure, and legends are engrossing to explore, particularly through seldom seen material like that assembled by the Architech Gallery.
		One of the premises of the show is that the effect of Burnham on the city continued long after his death in 1912, so works are shown from his firm almost to the end of the '20s.
		Thus a case is built to suggest that Burnham's chief architectural contributions were in the areas of scale and a refined backward-looking European taste.
