Design in the Age of Efficiency | June 27, recommended by Nicholas Korody
Back in 1922, Hugh Ferriss made a series of drawings that illustrated the effects of the 1916 Zoning Code, among the most stringent in the world at the time. Form follows policy, so to speak – even if architects dream of blank slates. This is just as true today and particularly after New York passed legislation that mandates some of the highest-efficiency buildings around. Do your due diligence and head over to West 18th Street to learn about the impact of these new laws.

Take a deep dive into her work with these two very different film treatments – the "New World" animated short takes a whimsical ride through her forms and graphics, and the documentary "Precise Poetry" conveys her influence through interviews with friends and colleagues.
