To improve the Naton's architecture | the American Institute of Architects is | developing a plan by which union of | offort will be brought about in the arts of design. Collaboration among archi- | teets, sculptors, mural painters, land- | | seape architects and also craftsmen, it is held, will mean a notable advance in | architectural expression. The movement Is being directed by the institute's committee on allied arts. | headed by J. Monroe Hewlett of New York. This committee, it is announced. has drawn up wofking principles for collaboration which will be submitted to the natfonal organizations allied with architecture. | The institute plans the establishment of an interprofessional service, unique | | in artistic effort in this country. to | carry out a definite scheme of collabor- ! ation. First, however, the institute will | frame a program “to bring about a gen- | eral understanding, a common acknowl- | edgment of collaboration as a necessity. jand a strong desire for working co- | operation.” The report of the committee on allicd | arts follows a recent declaration by the | board of directors of the institute that | there is danger in standardization of | architectural design. and that archi- tecture is becoming “a universal prod- | uct made to sell.” Communities. it Is charged, “are com- ing to look like peas of one pad and a certain commercialism is making itself | | more and more evident in the tvpe of | | universally emploved HOME LEASED FOR HOOVER OFFICES PTEMBER 1. 1928.° REAL ESTATE.

In practically | | Tests of tie pressure of wind against buildings are to be made at the Bureau of Standards in a huge chimney stand- ing 185 feet ahove ground, which has just been erected at the bureau in con- nection with its new power plant. A series of 24 openings have been built in the stack to serve as gauges to measure wind velocities. Thus actual | pressures on a full size structure can be determined and compared with the re- sults obtained in the “laboratory in the chimney” at the bureau. The chimney is circular in section, 14 feet 6 inches in diameter at the bess and 10 feet at the top. The foundation is on the boller room level, 18 feet beiow he street, so that the cl 2 is 200 feet high. sy At a height of about 140 feot are | located the 24 openings, which are pro- vided with brass tubes connecting with pressure gauges at the base of the stack. | Results of the tesis are expected tn be of value to architects and engineers, the | bureau states. | | | 208-10-12 RAYMOND STREET One Block from Connecticut Ave. | architecture | throughout The palatial residence of Mrs. Francois B.
