Summary note

"The Chrysler Building was the result of a collaboration between William Van Alen, whose designs challenged orthodox architecture, and Fred T. Ley, a practical builder. The structure would (for 11 months) be the tallest building in the world. This book chronicles how they designed and constructed the Chrysler Building and how the experience affected their lives"-- Provided by publisher.
