	Fred A. Bernstein: A Cathedral to Science
		And yet the Hall of Science is one of the least known remnants of the World's Fair (perhaps because, unlike the Unisphere and Philip Johnson's New York State Pavilion, it is not visible from the Long Island Expressway).
		The structure and the membrane are one and the same, which Harrison reportedly thought was important for a building that, in plan, appears to represent a cell.
		Adding to the drama: Harrison didn't interrupt the wall for an entrance; instead, he unfurled the membrane just enough to allow visitors (who congregated on a large, hexagonal plaza) to slip into the building.

		While this assessment seems overstated today, Harrison was involved in some of the 20th century's most monumental building projects: Rockefeller Center, the 1939 New York World's Fair, the United Nations, Lincoln Center, and the infamous Albany Mall.
		Newhouse has written a well-researched and immensely readable account of Harrison's career, from his humble beginnings in Worcester, Massachusetts, to his long and complex association with the Rockefeller family.
		While Newhouse focuses on Harrison's larger projects, attention is also given to smaller-scale buildings--in many respects his most satisfying work--designed over the course of his long career.

	The Midtown Book: Madison Avenue: 650 Madison Avenue (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The original building for the C.I.T. Corporation, a factoring company headed by Henry Ittleson, a philanthropist and art collector, was Harrison and Abramovitz's masterpiece, a 8-story building whose protruding stainless steel mullions and clear glass windows and blue glass spandrels was a machinemaker's delight with its precision patterns.
		As all of Harrison's projects mentioned in the above paragraph involved Nelson A. Rockefeller, who served for a while as governor of New York State, perhaps they indicated that Rockefeller's lack of taste, but since that Rockefeller was a major art collector it's more likely that Harrison was the one with no aesthetic sensibility.
		In any event, Harrison's C.I.T. building was a gem both in its pristine facades but also in its massing where the top seven floors of the building were "floated" over the Madison Avenue entrance by an indentation, or recessed band, over the first floor.

		WALLACE K. HARRISON, ARCHITECT Wallace Harrison was fortunate among architects for the patronage of Nelson Rockefeller.
		In the quality of his designs, however, he ran the gamut from Rockefeller Center, the most admired modern urban complex ever built, to the vulgarity of the Metropolitan Opera and the abject silliness of the Albany Mall.
		But Harrison's story is much more complex and much more interesting than simply one of declining artistic powers.
