What reading level is Extension And Completion of the Capitol Building. Report of the Joint Commission .. book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In our judgment, one of the most impressive views of the Capitol is obtained when one sees the entire east front and the Dome together, which is only possible vkdiile standing fairly close to the building and to the east of either the Senate or House wing. Now, if the central building were brought too far forward it would mask the Dome and destroy this very picturesque and yet imposing view of the Capitol; and there would be no point from where the entire height of the Dome could be seen in its... relation to the rest of the building, which is now possible on the east front.
We also believe that if this central building were carried far forward toward the east, the architectural effect of the entire east front would be injured, even when considered without regard to the Dome. In a monumental scheme of this character, three parts or architectural motives are much simpler, and a V^roader and better com- position, than five parts. The extreme i^rojection of this central building would completely destroy the present composition of three units, with its breadth and sim- plicity, and would not only produce a division with five members— the center, the two wings, and the intervening spaces — but would make these members practically equal in size and architectural value.
