This documentary really dives deep into the life and work of Louis Sullivan, an architect who shaped the skyline of Chicago and set the groundwork for modern architecture. Mark Richard Smith does a nice job of balancing Sullivan's personal struggles with his professional achievements, which gives you a real sense of the man behind the buildings. The pacing feels right, not rushed, allowing you to absorb the details of his philosophy, particularly that 'form follows function' mantra he championed. The visuals are compelling, showcasing both historic photos and current perspectives on his designs. There's a genuine reverence for his impact, and it's interesting how it captures both the highs and lows of his career, all while exploring broader themes of innovation and resilience in American architecture.
