| Discussion | Dipoli Conference Center Commentary
"Dipoli, undoubtedly the Pietilas' best known work, with its huge boulders, copper-sheated walls and concrete roof, reads as a primeval shelter and and the primal cave." William Morgan, in Randall J. Van Vunckt, ed. International Dictionary of Architects and Architecture : Volume 1, Architects. Detroit: St. James Press, 1993. ISBN 1-55862-087-7. LC 93-13431. NA40.I48 1993. 720'.9-dc20. | ||||||
