🏛️ ARTHIST 142 BuildingsCreated by Eliot Hertenstein
Wainwright Building, St. Louis (Louis Sullivan)
- Uses a steel frame to create a sense of "loftiness." This is Sullivan's key idea.
- A skyscraper should be built in three parts (the base, the body, and the cap)
- Form follows function, specifically as it pertains to nature. Things in nature have shapes that say what they do. The same is true for buildings.
