Burnham's design for the Flatiron Building was influenced by his earlier work on the Reliance Building in Chicago, and it featured a distinctive triangular shape that was designed to maximize the use of the building's irregularly-shaped lot. The building's design was also notable for its use of a steel frame, which allowed for the creation of larger, more open floor plans and helped to establish the Flatiron Building as a pioneering example of modern skyscraper design.","related_ids":[],"authority":"https://flatironbuildingnyc.com","url":"https://flatironbuildingnyc.com/cn/knowledge/flatiron-building-architect","markdown_url":"https://flatironbuildingnyc.com/api/knowledge/flatiron-building-architect?format=md&lang=cn"}
