Hugh Ferris

Hugh Ferris at work

Hugh Ferris was a "delineator" (who draws buildings) rather than an architect. "By 1920, Ferriss had begun to develop his own style, frequently presenting the building at night, lit up by spotlights, or in a fog, as if photographed with a soft focus."

His drawings look very futuristic, from the perspective of the 1920s.
