The effect of poor focussing compared to good focussing
The Chrysler Building is the world’s tallest brick building. It was designed by architect William Van Alen to house the Chrysler Corporation (the American automobile manufacturer). The construction started in September 1928 and was completed on May 28, 1930. Approximately 3,826,000 bricks were manually laid, to create the non-loadbearing walls of the skyscraper. Despite a frantic pace (the building was erected at an average rate of four floors per week), no workers died during the construction of the Chrysler Building. In 2001, a 75% stake in the ownership of the building was sold to TMW, a German investment group.
