		In conjunction with this competition and exhibition, the Hugh Ferriss Memorial Prize is awarded to an individual whose work, in the opinion of that year’s jury, is worthy of such distinction.
		Ferriss’ unmistakable, dramatic style of charcoal or pencil drawing, familiar to anyone seriously engaged in architectural delineation, has remained a powerful aesthetic, still influencing perspectivist and architect alike.
		Ferriss defined the art of rendering as an “attempt to tell the truth about a building.” His idea of truth was not a literal, visual veracity, but an interpretation of the architectural significance of a particular structure.

	Architectural Visions
		Ferriss was intensely concerned with a vision of the future, but unlike Le Corbusier's dispersed, loosely organized 'ville Radieuee', he envisioned a dense, compact, and powerful organism.
		Ferriss saw the future in dams, bridges, silos, and skyscrapers, and expressed in his renderings the power and fascination of unlimited space.

		Hugh Ferriss also knew it; he was a strange, quiet man who drew buildings, and his name doesn't mean much to most people today.
		Ferriss' invention was doubly effective: not only did he prompt other architects to follow his lead, he fit existing structures within an archetype that still defines the city.
		Ferriss' concern with remaking both the image and typology of the city reached its most original, enduring expression in his 1929 masterpiece publication, The Metropolis of Tomorrow.

	Review \| Metropolis of Tomorrow

		For those who have never heard of Hugh Ferriss this book is a shining example of his work.

		In this 1929 volume, Ferriss presented his vision of how he believes the cities of tomorrow (which now are those of today) would look.
		Hugh Ferris managed to develop a wonderful rendering technique (being trained as an architect no doubt helped) that seemed so suited to commercial buildings of size, especially skyscrapers.
		In today's world of 3D CAD and computers, Ferriss was able to use canvas to convey not merely ideas and requirements, but opportunities and emotions.

		Hugh Ferriss was the most prominent urban portraitist in the American architecture world of the 1920s and '30s.
		Ferriss claimed that his role as an architectural delineator was "to tell the truth about a building", which meant capturing not only its form and mass but also its mood and personality.
		Although the buildings in his vision of the metropolis are simple, unadorned masses, each dramatically captures the psychological impact of the soaring skyscraper on twentieth-century Americans.

	hugh ferriss... place, power, and the human being.
		Hugh Ferriss mastered the medium of shadow and light, molding form in a way that truly captures the spirit of place and being.
		It is this precious sense of life in the presence of an overwhelming whole, the grand scale of place, that provides the stage for smaller realms of interaction to occur.
		Through his striking portrayal of yet unbuilt worlds, Ferriss lures the viewer into a drama as real as the world beyond the image.

	New York urban history and zoning laws
		Accompanied by the first draft of Hugh Ferriss’ famous illustrations, Corbett characterises the design method as a process of subtraction from this virtual mass.
		Ferriss later refines and develops his renderings, likening the mass to clay, a material analogy which reinforces the idea of the design task as sculpture.

	The Midtown Book - The New York Marriott East Side (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The lower floors are inclined inward to enhance the illusion of height, and the inherently repetitious pattern of double-hung windows, each lighting a single small guest bedroom, was relieved by introducing recessing vertical panels that fostered shadows and further contributed to the sense of three-dimensionality.
		Needless to say, Ferriss was not entirely correct and the Shelton did get swallowed up by surrounding buildings, not the least of which, of course, is the overpowering and wonderful Waldorf-Astoria Hotel across the avenue.
		The building was romantically admired by the protagonists of the new, which is understandable and the Shelton, especially when unobstructively viewed from the west in old photographs, was certainly robust, secure and balanced.

	Hugh Ferriss: Delineator of Gotham
		Ferriss was the preeminent architectural draftsman of his time who through his moody chiaroscuro renderings of skyscrapers virtually inventing the image of Gotham visitors came to the city to see and residents identified with so fondly.
		As Michael Mallow puts it: “By the mid-twenties, renderings by Ferriss had become almost de rigeur for successful competition projects; countless skyscrapers waited their turn to be bathed in the dark monumentality emanating from his drafting table.
		Evidently Ferriss never designed a single noteworthy building, but after his death a colleague said “he influenced my generation of architects more than any other man.” With The Metropolis of Tomorrow it’s easy to see why.

		But only Piranesi seems to have been honest enough to admit that these fantasies have a masochistic quality to them, with the building becoming the ultimate dominating authority figure, the god or goddess we can only be overwhelmed by.
		Ferriss was not quite as exclusively wedded to masculine sexual metaphors as the above might make it seem: he was, on occasion at least, an equal opportunity fantasist:
		Concrete may seem ubiquitous and dull to us now, but back then it was as important as silicon is to us today as a material.

	Technology and Society Book Reviews
		Much as Edward Tufte (Envisioning Information, Visual and Statistical Thinking Displays, Visual Display of Quantitative Information) is regarded as the patron saint of data visualization, so was Hugh Ferriss recognized as the leading practitioner of architectural renderings from the 1920s through the 1950s.
		Unlike M.C. Escher, who did use background shading but most always sharply defined objects in the foreground, Ferriss leaves the fine details of his drawings to the reader's inner eye.
		What is there, thanks to Ferriss and the Princeton Architectural Press, is a classic work that showcases the work of one of the great artists of the 20th century and inspires readers to look into the drawings and see what they mean.
