Flat Iron Building

Flat Iron Building was constructed in 1906, by two architects Daniel Burnham and John Wellborn. Its 285ft {87m}, it has a classical Greek columns, two columns intersect on a thrid column forming an isosceles triangle which forms the top of the Flat, the Flat-Iron was constructed on a triangular island. The materials used were steel skeleton and concrete, it has a special feature a glazed terra-cotta facade is separate into three parts horinzontally, this triangular tower is only 6.5ft {2m} wide, 22 stories make up this clothing iron shape. My first expression when I comtenplated this structure was appresiation of perpective, looking up to the top its walls were getting smaller as it height increase. In my homble opinion adding a garden in the roof will be appreciated by the tenents. Families would have picnics and a first hand view of the city from their terrace.
