Suomen rakennustaiteen museo (447 words)
Jo ennen valmistumistaan 1936 Revell oli osakkaana arkkitehtitoimistossa Kokko—Rewell—Riihimäki.
Toronton kaupungintalokilpailun vuonna 1958 voittaneen ryhmän - Viljo Revell, Heikki Castrén, Bengt Lundsten ja Seppo Valjus - ehdotus muodostuu kahdesta jalustalla seisovasta kaarevasta tornista, jotka suojaavat matalaa, pyöreää kokoussaliosaa.
Revell oli ideageneraattori ja organisaattori eikä kuluttanut aikaansa turhien pikkuasioiden pohdiskelussa.
Didrichsenin taidemuseo (181 words)
Monien teknisesti vaikeiden ratkaisujen toteuttajana Revell oli uranuurtaja, mutta hänen arkkitehtuurissaan tekniikka ei koskaan päässyt voitolle humaanista suhtautumisesta.
Kysymys ei ollut pelkästään rakennuksen ulkoisista ominaisuuksista, vaan Revell pyrki menemään syvemmälle tavoitteenaan löytää rakennuksen todellinen luonteenlaatu.
Viljo Revellin ja hänen avustajiensa suurin voitto oli Toronton kaupungintalon kansainvälisen suunnittelukilpailun ensimmäinen palkinto 520 muun ehdotusten joukosta.
