I’ve just discovered the amazing work of Hugh Ferriss, architect, poet and illustrator of the 1920s-30s.
Ferriss said that his role as an architectural delineator was "to tell the truth about a building", which meant capturing not only its form and mass but also its mood. #HughFerriss #Architecture
