	New York Architecture Images- Morris Lapidus
		He received his bachelor of architecture degree at the Columbia University School of Architecture in 1926, following a brief stint as an actor and some work in theater design.
		Given the eclectic nature of his architecture, it is not surprising—though perhaps somewhat alarming—that Lapidus once identified the four greatest influences on his work as Talbot Hamlin, Sr.
		I would argue that the specter of Lapidus’s work in the galleries of the Architectural League touched a core of anxiety about the influence of uncultured immigrant taste on American values, a fear heightened by the increased visibility and economic power of the suburban nouveau riche.

	FUNCTIONALISM... - THE ARCHITECTS
		The basis for the new architectural movement of the 1920s was the development of new structural and material technologies, which enabled not only a proper visual and functional realization of the Modernist ideas and ideals, but also made the designs suitable for mass-production and international adaptation around the world, hence the term "Internationalism".
		It was perhaps Le Corbusier's "Five Points of a New Architecture" of 1926 that, along with his works, had the greatest effect on new Modernist projects.
		The new style of Functionalism was first mentioned in Finland in 1926 when the architect Alvar Aalto wrote about the influence of Le Corbusier on his architecture.
