The Art of Skyscrapers

Austrian Carpenter Paul T. Frankl who’s quest for organization sparked an entire movement in his career that reflected the modern skyscraper. As Frankl honed his new style he decided that it was a “Logical expression of the new age and quintessentially American.” These beautiful works of art seemed to trace the history of skyscrapers, starting as stout works that later became soaring cabinets, bookcases, and desks.
