Sullivans Banken
overview
This film shows the last eight buildings Louis H.Sullivan ("form follows function") has designed and furnished at the end of his career. He consistently draped his buildings with facades that no longer had a load-bearing function as a form of free expression. From one building to the next, both inside and outside, he varied and perfected his modular ornamental design in brick, steel, plater, terracotta, glass, ceramics, mosaic, marble, light, relief, stencil designs, wood and metal.
