This book chronicles Chicago's architectural tradition from the nineteenth through the early twenty-first century, from the structural simplicity of Chicago School commercial building to the low-slung Prairie School house, from the streamlined Art Deco skyscraper to the minimalist Miesian tower of glass and steel, and all the way through to the strikingly original, diverse designs of the present day's so-called second modern period.
A revised edition of the lavishly illustrated, authoritative guide to the architectural traditions of Chicago features a wealth of new photography and a new final chapter that covers the signature works of the past twenty years, including Frank Gehry's Millennium Park band shell. 15,000 first printing.
