That was all that Hugh Ferriss needed to craft breathtaking skylines and cityscapes depicting what was and what could be, that have influenced every generation of architect since. He put it best:
Buildings like crystal.
Walls of translucent glass.
Sheer glass blocks sheeting a steel grill.
No Gothic branch.
No Acanthus leaf.
No recollections of the plant world.
A mineral kingdom.
Gleaming stalagmites.
Forms as cold as ice.
Mathematics.
Night in the Science zone.
