サマリー
あらすじ・解説
LYNDA SCHNEEKLOTH
University at Buffalo architecture professor emeritus and grain elevator preservationist
“They are so out of scale to anything that you see in your life that they are like a distant
landscape right in front of you all the time.” More than a grain elevator enthusiast,
Lynda Schneekloth is a scholar of these giant concrete and
steel structures. On a frigid and windy Buffalo day in February 2020, she braved the cold to point
out their inner-workings, why they were built the way they were, why they’re considered
architectural wonders – and why so many of us are intrigued by them.
