What reading level is Architecture And Democracy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The manipulation of light is now in the handsof the illuminating engineers and its exploitation (in other thannecessary ways) in the hands of the advertisers. Some results of their collaboration are seen in the sky signs of upperBroadway, in New York, and of the lake front, in Chicago. A carnivalof contending vulgarities, showing no artistry other than the mostpuerile, these displays nevertheless yield an effect of amazingbeauty. This is on account of an occult property inherent in thenature of... light--_it cannot be vulgarized_. If the manipulation oflight were delivered into the hands of the artist, and dedicatedto noble ends, it is impossible to overestimate the augmentation ofbeauty that would ensue. For light is a far more potent medium than sound. The sphere of soundis the earth-sphere; the little limits of our atmosphere mark theuttermost boundaries to which sound, even the most strident canpossibly prevail. But the medium of light is the ether, which linksus with the most distant stars.
