To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The modern high building has a function to perform outside of its own structural integrity; in case of a conflagration it must serve as a check to the onward rush of flames and superheated air. The proper anchor- ing and tying of the fireproof material to the steel frame to prevent the build- ing from shedding its masonry work is one of vital importance. Terra cotta in combination with bricks is the lightest building material to be had that satisfies all the requirements of modern office buildi...ngs. These raw materials come in convenient shapes and are quickly and easily handled, an essential factor these days in putting up expensive buildings. A building covered with structural terra cotta is the fireproof wall that can be placed in the path of a conflagration, and, on account of its comparative lightness, it has become almost a necessity in twenty- and thirty-story sky- scrapers. From the architectural point of view there is no material which offers greater possibilities of beauty and harmony of coloring as well as such virtues as strength, durability, lightness and great fire-resistance.
