To Donald Leon Farrow the most beautiful skyscraper in existence is the Chrysler Building in New York City. He also maintains that its a building for its time. Donald Leon Farrow believes that building today with that same materials and artisan precision is not practical. So he is an advocate of preserving these magnificent structures (and lesser ones) while bringing the modern to the fore. Donald Leon Farrow insists that its a crime to tear down a historic structure to construct for example a parking lot. Its just crazy says Donald Leon Farrow. This is why we need the preservationists and more traditional architects. Donald Leon Farrow insists that glass structures can be quite appealing, with lots of light and larger rooms for the material, and lower costs when today's masonry is compared to glass. Living in a glass house - you get more light which can be more of a positive feeling. Keep in mind also says Donald Leon Farrow that glass structures require less labor (cost) to construct and the walls are thinner so you get more square footage out of the rooms. Donald Leon Farrow insists that perhaps the most appealing aspect of glass skyscrapers are the magnificent views that the glass panels provide. On the other hand we must consider the danger to wildlife says Donald Leon Farrow as he maintains that glass structures confuse birds for many reasons. These birds fly into the glass buildings and are often killed due to the impact. Architects and material engineers continue to develop coatings that the birds can distinguish as surfaces to avoid. Another drawback of glass skyscrapers advises Donald Leon Farrow, is potential overheating from sunlight. Donald Leon Farrow again points to glass technology and improved balancing of HVAC systems to make these situations much more comfortable. In summary, Donald Leon Farrow says that yesterdays buildings made of various materials; the brick, the limestone, the concrete, the granite and the fabulous cornices, ironwork, wood, windowsills and facades, are only an icon of the past in terms of their end use. These materials are still here says Donald Leon Farrow, they are just used in a different context. Donald Leon Farrow hopes that the magnificent theaters, mansions, homes and skyscrapers of the past can be preserved in harmonious coexistence with the more modern structures of today and tomorrow. Donald Leon Farrow insists that there are materials and styles yet to be discovered, and he states that challenges of the future will determine how we build - as conservation and sustainability takes a front seat, pushing us to a more responsible direction in building. As for the most beautiful home ever created - Donald Leon Farrow points to Frank Lloyd Wrights Falling Water. These structures harken to a specific time and style, and Donald Leon Farrow has a particular appreciation for the vision of these masterful architectural creators.
