He designed massive structures such as Buffalo’s Ellicott Square Building, New York’s Flatiron Building and Washington’s Union Station. He devised master plans for major cities such as Chicago, Cleveland, Manila and San Francisco.
He boiled his philosophy down to two simple sentences. “Make no little plans,” Burnham famously said. “They have no magic to stir men’s blood.”
