| Description: | 13:00:33:- MS interview with Richard Hayden, managing principal of an international architecture firm (he mentions the exact name but it is too quickly uttered). Mike Lukas (TV host/comedian) monitors the interview. They discuss the nature of the restoration business (his firm restored the Statue of Liberty in 1986, among other high-profile jobs), why people can't go into the torch arm of the Statue of Liberty (including a brief history of the aquisition and subsequent transportation of the monument), why the statue had to be restored, what the Statue is made of and how it was initially constructed. They also discuss what changes were made during the restoration (and the philosophy behind them), the book he wrote about the entire restoration procedure (CU of the book), the difference between restoration and preservation, and the structural strength and durability of wrought iron. Very interesting and informative interview. | |
