===Seagram Building=== {{Main|Seagram Building}} [[File:NewYorkSeagram 04.30.2008.JPG|thumb|[[Seagram Building]]]] Although now acclaimed and widely influential as an urban design feature, Mies had to convince Bronfman's bankers that a taller tower with significant "unused" open space at ground level would enhance the presence and prestige of the building. Mies's design included a bronze curtain wall with external H-shaped [[mullion]]s that were exaggerated in depth beyond what was structurally necessary. Detractors criticized it as having committed Adolf Loos's "[[Ornament and Crime|crime of ornamentation]]". Philip Johnson had a role in interior materials selections, and he designed the sumptuous [[Four Seasons Restaurant]]. The Seagram Building is said to be an early example of the innovative "fast-track" construction process, where design documentation and construction are done concurrently.
