their claims on it. The new Nationalist gov

A heterogeneous crowd of 1000

The address apparently touched
them very little, however, for when
Young Mcpherson called for a show

over much lower building that stands next to

from being erected where it would, cut on the
Equitable tenants light and air. In the same
way the Bank of Manhattan Co. recently
paid 100000 for air rights over an adjacent
hye-story building.
The regional plan, however, adds the sober
ing reminder that it will not be the architects
and the buildings who will bring this imaginary
aerial city of the future into existence-if it
ever does come into existence; it will be the
city's transportation system.
"NEw YORK and It's skyscrapers." says the
plans report, "have been created more
BY transportation than by any other
means. The city will attract industry business
and inhabitants in proportion to its MAIN
tenance of efficiency in transportation by ship,
train, motor or foot. In other words New York
depends for its growth chiefly on the MAIN
tenance of a high degree of accessibility. Sky
ScraperS viii increase in number only as the
tyrant transportation permits them to increase

this reason:
The more 1OO-story buildings that are built
the fewer 10 and 20 story buildings viii have
to be erected between them. Thus the average
street win get more light and air than it does
under present conditions, and trafHc congestion
win not be as bad rs it is now, where IS and
80 story buildings stand in long ranks on almost
all Of New Ycrk's principal streets.

Chapter OF the American Institute Of Archi-
tects, is another authority who believes that
the coming Of the city Of skyscrapers Is inevi-

Eve shall live vertically instead of hori-

"CrOwdiny into cities is definite tendency

scraper about $50 feet In height. recessed and
set back in the style that coming laws have now
made customary everywhere. Thus, in its
essentials, his structure was simply four gigan-
tic skyscrapers set on adjacent blocks to form a
hollow square.
But at this point the architect Martin Beck,
showed his imagination On the top OF each of
these four skyscrapers he designed Q steel
superstructure 500 feet more in height. Enor-
NOUS arches were flung alOft to connect each
OF these superstructures with its two nearest
neighbors. Then, over the lofty framework
thus formed, solid platform to serve as land
ing field was projected.
THIS landing field is square, measuring 1000
feet. on each side-a sort Of giants table
put up on hollow legs, each leg an enormous
Building in itself, capable of housing 2SO 900 or
more inhabitants.
The landing field, in turn, would have its
own repair shops, hangers, waiting rooms and
the like, with express elevators to connect 1t
with the ground levels and the lower floors
Thus the future skyscraper may avoid street
congestion by providing its own private land
ing field. And If you're able to imagine build
tngs OF this enormous size It probably will be no
trouble at all for you to imagine, also, that by
the time they are built the airplane win have
been perfected so that every man win be fiyiug
his own plane as casually as he now drives
his own automobile.
One of the things that the skyscraper age
will bring to the American city Is a beauty as
striking and th-taking as the beauty of
ancient Greece or Renaissance Florence &C.
cording to Benjamin F. Belts editor of the
American Architect.
The progress Of 1929 toward expressing this
new architectural form was striking both In
design and dimension" he says. I'm 1890 we
may well expect a capitalization Of this effort
with purer attempts to express in great build
tngs the swift. straight lines that are essential
in steel skeletons.
Heavy cornices and protruding Ornamental
ton are false notes in an architecture that
depends on steel framework covered with no
more than curtain Of brick stone Our new
architecture Is writing in masonry steel and
glass the history Of the age in which we live
Yet there is no sacrifice Of beauty. The
new designs lend themselves to a splendor Of
detail as well as a dignity of mass and COM
position that proves that the steel skeleton
building can be beautiful and yet express it's
structure"
NEW YORK, Mr.. Belts points out, Is not the
only city that is doing great things with its
Gkyscrapers '~'
In Detroit" he says. "the Penobscot and
Union Trust Buildings are typical OF the de-
yelopments that win have q marked influence
