		He graduated in architecture in 1911 from Washington University, St Louis, where the teaching was Beaux-Arts oriented.
		Working in carbon pencil, he perfected a rich and dramatic chiaroscuro technique that exaggerated the monumental qualities of structures, suppressing ornament and detail and reducing buildings to the profound power of their simple mass.
		This abstraction of building forms, which had great influence on subsequent architecture by others, began with a series of ‘zoning envelope’ studies, which Ferriss did in 1922 with Harvey Wiley Corbett; these illustrated how the maximum building volumes permitted by New York’s setback zoning laws of 1916 could be incrementally refined into finished building designs.

		Vienna around 1900 is the seedbed for an architectural style that culminated in the functionalism of Adolf Loos and played a crucial role in the development of modernism and postmodernism.
		Modern architecture, as defined by Otto Wagner, was a progressive program that dispensed with formal elements and the abundance of decoration that had characterized nineteenth century architecture.
		His Postal Saving's Bank, for example, has smooth wall dressings that lend aesthetic justification to his argument that the "modern eye" has lost its sense for a small and intimate scale and become accustomed to longer straight lines, to more expansive surfaces, and to plainer silhouetting.
