	Eichler Network: Feature on File
		Pietro Belluschi, Dean of Architecture and Urban Planning at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, one of the top architecture schools in the country, was at the other end of that call.
		Belluschi was known not only for his supremely elegant, simple, modern, beautifully designed churches and houses typically of wood, but also for his ability to remain within limited budgets.
		Belluschi's prototype was a startling success, generating a flood of letters from around the country requesting plans.

	Pietro Belluschi Oral History Interview Conducted by Meredith L. Clausen for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian ...
		PIETRO BELLUSCHI: I was exactly in the same situation he so vividly described in the book; we were the same age, and of course he was a correspondent on the Italian front.
		PIETRO BELLUSCHI: Artists made a big splash; it was of course fun to raise hell, but common people disliked them very much, because they were touching a sensitive subject: they were attacking the great Italian tradition and all the great architects and artists of the Renaissance.
		PIETRO BELLUSCHI: I suppose I always did see what is now becoming a very common idea, that architecture is not one building but the totality of the environment created by all buildings, both their form and the space between them.

	Architecture as a Spiritual Experience
		However, although Belluschi had as a youth rejected institutional religion, he remained a deeply spiritual man. The opportunity to design a church gave him the means of exploring architecture as art instead of as a business.
		Belluschi believed that lavish decor, splendid mosaics, dazzling frescos, brilliant stained glass, richly carved sculpture, and elaborate gilded moldings, were all superficial and did not contribute to a spiritual setting.
		Belluschi was on the committee that selected the design for the Vietnam war memorial, and for the Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial.

	Pietro Belluschi: Shaping the Religious Experience - Stephen Henkin
		Stephen Henkin is an arts editor for The World & I. Although architect Pietro Belluschi is best known for his collaboration in landmarks such as the Bank of America headquarters in San Francisco and the Pan Am Building and the Juilliard School of Music in New York, his religious edifices may be his finest work.
		A pioneer in the Modern religious architecture movement in America, Belluschi was fortunate in that he was able to take advantage of rapidly developing technologies in order to construct churches and synagogues on the cutting edge of his craft.
		Belluschi's work has been an enduring example of a Modernist style whose mechanical functionalism flows out of an organic point of view based upon architectural themes derived from landscape, function, and materials.
