Building analysis
The Guaranty building of Buffalo, New York is one of the first buildings constructed from steel supports and curtain walls in the world. Louis Sullivan and Dankmar Adler were commissioned to create the building and they began construction in 1895. With the help of the Guaranty Construction Company of Chicago it was finished being built only one year later in 1896. Because of the new steel technology they were able to make the building thirteen stories high, making it the tallest building in Buffalo at the time. One of the challenges they faced was making the building not only functional, but aesthetically pleasing.
Detail analysis
Sullivan decided to create the exterior of the building with Terra Cotta which is a clay-based unglazed ceramic that is reddish brown in color. He used extreme detail in the ornamentation of some of the Terra Cotta that covers the piers, spandrels, tympani, columns, and arches of the Guaranty building’s exterior. The designs he used in the ornamentation were inspired by nature and from Celtic designs.
