A Decades-Long Study Is Finally Published

source: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/31/arts/design/31antiques.html?partner=rss&emc=rss

3 Facts:
1) An architectural monograph, in progress since the 1950s, was finally published a few weeks ago.
2) Richard Nickel died at 43, he was killed by falling debris at a demolition site he was exploring.
3) The recently published study focuses on early skyscrapers created by Louis Sullivan.

2 Questions:
1) Why did this study take so long to publish?
2) Are Nickel's early findings still relevant today?

1 Opinion:
I think that architecture is a very under appreciated form of art. It is not necessarily in museums, however it can be seen everywhere (cities etc). It is incredibly useful.
