Description
After years of buildings influenced by the functional International Style, contemporary architects have rediscovered the role of ornament as a humanizing element in their structures. No one practiced the art of ornamentation better than Louis Sullivan, significant designer of the skyscraper. From the beginning of Sullivan's career until the present day, his buildings have inspired praise, puzzlement, and controversy.
