Covell, decided to request the Washington Chapter of the American Institute of Architects to ask all architects in the city in charge of building construction to forward to the council a photograph or sketch of the proposed building showing adjoin- ing buildings so that the council may determine whether the proposed struc- ture will be in harmony with its en- vironment .
