“Building like crystals… walls of translucent glass… sheer glass blocks sheathing a steel grille… no gothic branch, no acanthus leaf, no recollection of the plant world. A mineral kingdom. Gleaming stalagmites. Forms as cold as ice. Mathematics. Night in the science zone.”
The Metropolis of Tomorrow by Hugh Ferriss, 1929
