Answer to Question 1

A
Sullivan broke new ground with the Wainwright Building by making his sheathing light, letting the skin of the building echo the steel framing underneath.

Answer to Question 2

Jeroen Verhoeven used computer-aided design and manufacturing technology to create Cinderella, a curvaceous table made of plywood. Verhoeven's table speaks to the fine arts in its unique design, limited production run, and lofty intentions but is also a legacy of the Arts and Crafts movement in that it is fully functional as both a table and storage cabinet.
