This business building, the architectural creation of Mr. Frank Lloyd Wright of Chicago, is reproduced in many excellent photographs, some of which will be shown in this article and others in the March number of the Architectural Record.

Big, splendid and very expensive (mere art lovers may buy a drink at the bar), the new restaurant in the Seagram building is called The Four Seasons.

The design for this handsome house bears unusually close relationship to its site: a small, wooded and rocky outcropping overlooking Long Island Sound.

The July 1933 issue featured the house of Rex Stout, designed by former RECORD editor A. Lawrence Kocher with Gerhard Ziegler.

In 1910, Cubism was beginning to make itself known, though some of the artists that Gelett Burgess, a draftsman and illustrator by trade, writes of, such as Picasso, had already made something of a mark (the "Blue Period" was several years in the past). But this essay, which Burgess shopped around before having it purchased by Architectural Record, has become known as a seminal work on this group, even though it is not taken entirely seriously. 

Radical though it be, the work here illustrated is dedicated to a cause conservative in the best sense of the word. At no point does it involve denial of the elemental law and order inherent in all great architecture; rather it is a declaration of love for the spirit of that law and order and a reverential recognition of the elements that made its ancient letter in its time value and beautiful.

“Nature has made creatures only; Art has made Men.” Nevertheless, or perhaps for that very reason every struggle for truth in the arts and for the freedom that should go with the truth has always had its own peculiar load of disciples, neophytes and quacks.

The Machine is the architect’s tool – whether he likes it or not. Unless he masters it, the Machine has mastered him. The Machine? What is the machine?

Steel is THE epic of this age. Steel has entered our lives as a “material” to take upon itself the physical burden of our civilization.
