[edit] Discussion

"This famous modern building, dating from 1929, is one of the most important of all 20th century industrial buildings, and one of the most elegant... The cladding is one of the best examples of a fully developed curtain-wall system, while the treatment of the massing of blocks, relationships of solids to voids, and disposition of elements, is masterly.

James Stevens Curl, in Muriel Emmanuel, Contemporary Architects.
