A fascinating study of the man who did much to change the form of the modern skyscraper. Hood's functionalism and artistic sense and his psychological and technical tactics as an innovator are spotlighted. The book reveals Hood's method of working on actual projects, such as the Rockefeller Centre and the Daily News Building, with the personalities and business politics, as well as structural details, materials and use of space.
