BY BENJAMIN F. BETTS, Editor of the American Architect. ‘We may count ourselves fortunate to be living in an age that permits us to | see architecture in the crucible from which will emerge a new architectural style that will live and rival the classic designs of the Greeks and Romans, the Gothic of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance of intellectual France. The progress of 1929 toward express- ing this new architectural form was striking, both in design and dimension. In 1930 we may well expect a crystalliza- tion of this effort, with fewer adapta- tions of the old forms to today's pur- poses and purer attempts to express in great metropolitan buildings the swift, straight lines that are essential in steel skeletons. Heavy cornices and protruding ornamentation are false notes in an architecture that depends on ruch framework covered th n more than a curtain of brick or stone. Our new architecture is writing in ma- sonry, steel and glass the history of the { age in which we live. Yet there is no sacrifice of beauty. The new designs lend themselves to a splendor of detail as well as a dignity of mass and composition that proves that the steel skeleton building can be beautiful and yet express its structure. In dimension 1929 has provided reve- lations. The 792-foot height of the ‘Woolworth Tower, long the pinnacle of of the skyscrapers, and even the 1,000~ | foot Eiffel Tower will be surpassed by | projects instituted during the year. The Chrysler Building and the Bank of Man- hatfan Building both will soar over 800 feet, while the Empire State Building will rise 1,100 feet, topped by a 200-foot ooring mast for Zeppelins, giving it height of 1,300 f¢ ‘The Metropolitan CARL G.
