Synopsis
Chicago has been at the forefront of architectural progress for more than a century. This completely revised edition documents the city's recent architecture, starting with the deveopments at O'Hare airport, taking in the commercial buildings of the Old Town, the West Loop, and the Central Business District, and ending with the houses and municipal facilities of the suburbs. Along the way the book covers museums (including the Museum of Contemporary Art by Josef Paul Kleihues - a rare example of a major building in the city by an imported architect), schools, diners, cottages, shops, and schools. Among the architects whose work is featured are Sarah Dunn/Martin Felsen, Studio Gang/O'Donnell, Doug Garofalo/Randall Kober, and Helmut Jahn, Carol Ross Barney, Paul Florian, Ron Krueck, Obi Nwazota, and Joe Valerio. More than one hundred buildings, all completed within the last ten years and including the work of such well-known firms as Skidmore Owings & Merrill, Holabird & Root and Stanley Tigerman, as well as many new, young firms, are described and illustrated, with full location and access details.
