Hugh Ferriss (1889-1962) was an American architect and illustrator known for his visionary drawings of skyscrapers and urban landscapes. He worked primarily in New York City during the 1920s and 1930s, a period of rapid growth and development of the city's skyline. Ferriss's drawings were highly influential in shaping the popular image of the modern city as a place of towering buildings and dramatic lighting effects. He also wrote several books on architecture and urban planning, including The Metropolis of Tomorrow (1929) and Power in Buildings (1953). Ferriss's legacy continues to inspire architects and artists today, especially those interested in the intersection of art and architecture.
