But the building and operation of garages has become just that,” according to the American Architect. “At. present, according to this esti- mate, there are 51,600 commercial ga- rages in the country, representing a total investment of $3,000,000,000, to say nothing of the uncounted millions of prl"t:te housing spaces, the publication states. “But in spite of its growth from the humble status of a converted stable to the impressive massiveness of & loft building, the garage continues to be & problem to the architect and builder, for as soon as the building goes beyond two floors in height it has been neces- sary—until recently, at least—to give up from 40 to 60 per cent of the space to ramps, driveways and, space for manipulating the cars, “No office or factory building could begin to pay its way if half of its space was devoted to corridors. Neither can a garage. Which explains. why the garage owner has been restricted to side streets and outlying districts where real estate values are low. “But necessity dictates that the ga- rage must come downtown—must be near the heart of even the largest citles, and must follow the office skyscaper up into the air if traffic congestion and parking problems are to be solved. “The most recent answer of designers to the problem,” says the American Architect’s article, “and one by which they hope to make llrlT! buildings of 12 to 20 stories profitable even in the high rent zones, is & plan which em- plays high-speed elevators.” Britain is conducting a research to find more economical use of British and Empire timbers.
