		A native of Arkansas, in 1945 Edward Durrell Stone was contracted by the Fulbright family to design a line of furniture using wooden farm implements manufactured in the family’s factory in Fayetteville.
		This integration of recycled factory-produced components with handcraft, and the extension of the technology from an existing project to a tangential one was a design philosophy being contemporaneously explored by Charles and Ray Eames, especially in their children’s furniture and plywood animals of 1945.

	Jonathan Ochshorn - Stone
		Stone has two distinct architectural faces: in monumental architecture, it stands for wealth, power, and permanence; on the other hand, especially when used at a domestic scale and based on local craft traditions, it appears as modest, forthright, and natural.
		Stone's symbolic content is not determined by these two traditions alone, but also reflects the revolutionary changes brought about by industrialization, and the attitudes - ranging from ambivalence to outright hostility - with which those changes are greeted.
		The history of stone in 20th-century architecture can be pieced together from readings in general architectural histories and in the accounts of individual architects, but sections or chapters dealing specifically with stone are unusual.

		A closer examination, however, reveals that architect Stone tried to impose a coherent design based on octagonals to this building as reflected in its ceiling coffers and floor inlays.
		These are strong motifs, reminiscent of some of Frank Lloyd Wright's organic and Mayan ornamentation, but they are not clearly enough defined and become lost in the subtlety of their fine lines on the monochromatic white marble.
		Stone's massing of the tower sought to mitigate its giant size by making it widest in the middle of the block to present narrower facades on the avenues.

		Stone invites Rockefeller back to his office after the lunch, opens a drawing file cabinet full of the completed design, pulls out the perspective overview drawing, and asks Nelson if that would suit.
		Rockefeller, particularly liking the monumental and grandiose aspect, accepts it immediately, and soon after directs his minions to see to it that it gets built on the chosen site, formerly the property of the Albany Country Club (and, no doubt, the members being his friends too, they were also very adequately compensated for their trouble).
		The tunnel-like geometry of the three-story buildings with the uniform overhanging colonnade roof causes a relentless blast when the wind is any more than a modest breeze away from the structures and the straight access roadways adjacent.

		Edward Durrell Stone burns in hell for his apostasy, but it is not too late for you, Philip Johnson, to repent and sheath all of your postmodern buildings in glass!
		Stone, who died in 1978, is quoted in Paul Heyer's "Architects on Architecture: New Directions in America" as saying: "If our flights of fancy found receptive audiences and each of us were encouraged to be an individual our lives would be enriched.
		Stone was a major figure in American architecture, and his Columbus Circle building, completed in 1965, is among a handful of works that represent a turning point in his career, when he rejected some of the tenets of late Modernism in favor of a more overt historicism.

	The Morning News - Withering Heights, by Clay Risen
		The building in question, 2 Columbus Circle, was built by Edward Durell Stone in 1964 to house the Gallery of Modern Art.
		But Stone, perhaps in anticipation of a radical revision, booby-trapped his building by making the walls both shear and load-bearing, in contrast with the steel skeletons and glass curtains that dominated post-war architecture.
		Ironically, while Wolfe and others praise Stone for his supposed willingness to break out of the high modernist mode, in his denial of the urban context Stone committed what we have come to see as mid-century modernism’s original sin.

	Tom Wolfe's Favorite Ugly Building - He'll say it's valuable, but he won't say it's beautiful. By Timothy Noah (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		In his book From Bauhaus to Our House, Wolfe attributes Stone's rebellion to his marrying the "explosively Latin" Maria Elena Torchio, who complained that her husband's earlier buildings were cold and lifeless.
		Whether that's true or not, 2 Columbus Circle was certainly a departure for Stone, whose previous buildings included New York's rigorously modernist Museum of Modern Art.
		Its columns are a "highly sophisticated repetition." There is an "extraordinary interplay of positive and negative space." The portholes are misconstrued as "Islamic grillwork." Stone bucked "the icy grip of the French and German International Style orthodoxy." That's all well and good.

	A.L. Huxtable vs. Tom Wolfe - 2 Columbus Circle's best-known detractor weighs in on its preservation. By Timothy Noah (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Three months ago, Chatterbox challenged Tom Wolfe to back up his preservationist argument for Manhattan's 2 Columbus Circle, the hideous Moorish tomb built by Edward Durrell Stone in 1964, by arguing that it was beautiful.
		Chatterbox's point was that Wolfe admired the building—which he was trying to rescue from a planned radical remodeling by its new owner, the Museum of Arts and Design—purely on theoretical grounds.
		This small oddity of dubious architectural distinction, designed by Edward Durell Stone, has been elevated to masterpiece status and cosmic significance by a campaign to save its marginally important, mildly eccentric, and badly deteriorated façade.
