The work of art basically addresses the relationship between an individual and his society. Who would’ve expected it to be brought down by just one flood? I hope and pray for the success of its restoration project.<br /><br />- <a href="http://cascaderestorationservices.com/water-damage-restoration-seattle-services/" rel="nofollow">Carlene Maysonet </a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17203462361550102787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8708491258471327725.post-69269689275210153612012-06-27T06:43:07.159-07:002012-06-27T06:43:07.159-07:00I salute the NTHP (National Trust of Historic Pres...I salute the NTHP (National Trust of Historic Preservation) for taking good care of this historic landmark since 2004. Let's help them and make this restoration possible for the masterpiece of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. This will be a difficult project, but, preserving this piece of history will be truly rewarding.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.advancerestoration.ca/" rel="nofollow">Diane Blackburn</a>Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08851086449390046285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8708491258471327725.post-17293928166398145492008-09-22T07:16:00.000-07:002008-09-22T07:16:00.000-07:00I am reading your blog with great interest, as I a...I am reading your blog with great interest, as I am in the midst of planning a field trip to Chicago for Craft and Design students from Sheridan College just outside Toronto. We had planned to make a trip to the Farnsworth House a key element of our tour, and we were devastated to see the flood photos. I recently visited the recreation of the Barcelona Pavilion, and was keen on seeing elements of van der Rohe's original construction. Preserving our modernist heritage is of key concern, and I wish you the best for your restoration efforts; they will be difficult but immensely rewarding.<BR/><BR/>Cheers;<BR/><BR/>Peter Fleming<BR/>Studio Head, Furniture<BR/>Sheridan Craft and Design ProgramPeter Fleminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08709019891524445247noreply@blogger.com
