The Architecture of Benno Jansen
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
The book is great in cataloguing the builldings, style and architecture Benno created in and around Pittsburgh. The old world style gives a feeling of permanance to his buildings. Miller did a excellent job in picking the significant Projects of Benno's and showcasing them. I enjoy this book.
A Great American Architect

Anyone who has experienced a Benno Janssen designed property understands the beauty, majesty and uniqueness of his style. His use of the natural resources of Western Pennsylvania and a style of combining high roofs and archways create an Eastern European look. He is truely one of our country's greatest architects. I recommend this book for anyone who appreciates great architecture, especially when it utilizes the surrounding landscape.
