Excerpt from Materials and Methods in Architecture: A Compendium of Technical Articles Selected From Progressive Architecture
Most of us live a large part of our lives in rectangular cubes of varying proportions and sizes. Structurally, these are generally reticulated boxes placed beside each other or piled atop one another in endless monotony. Paradoxically, the post and lintel system is neither the most economical of. Material'nor the most expressive of form; yet, by far, this. Method of framing outnumbers all others. To a great degree, this devotion to building. With lineal members has been forced upon us by custom, building material. Production methods that are most suitable for lineal members, and the fact that man's ingenuity has not as yet developed for him other choices that are in a practical sense any more acceptable. There is evidence, how ever, that we may be in the process of entering a new era of great creative activity in all of the arts and, looking forward to such an epoch, we may anticipate. That more suitable, more economical, and less imitative structural concepts will evolve.

If this is so, are many of today's 'bui'ld ings truly modern? Setback requirements for a contemporary, multi-story building, of course, tend to eliminate the fire haz ard from-adjoining property. Fortunately, modernization of building codes is now under way in most major cities.
In the selection of insulation for -a curtain-wall panel, many types have been considered. Undoubtedly the cheapest method is the use of dead airspace, yet this solution increases wall thickness and decreases usable floor area. A balance must be struck between these cost vari ables.
