From the Chicago Tribune Competition and the Chrysler Building to the United Nation headquarters and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, the drawings of Hugh Ferriss record a period of time in the history of architecture which has seen remarkable change in our conception of cities and buildings. Trained as an architect in the Beaux Arts tradition, Ferriss chose instead to devote the greater part of his career to giving shape and life to the dreams and visions in his own mind and in the minds of other, now famous, architects for whom he worked. In one broad sweep, we see, through one man's eyes, an astonishing record of 20th-century ideas and designs in architecture. -- from book jacket.
