Abstract:We tend to forget that many of our most admired sites were highly controversial before they were built. The list of great works that emerged from controversy is long -- the Eiffel Tower, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Hoover Dam, the Lincoln Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the World War II Memorial, and the transcontinental railroad -- treasures so obvious today that we don't recall the predictions of doom before they were built.
