"...Chicago firms and schools that developed the American skyscraper, gave birth to the Prairie School of architecture, constituted a major force in the International Style movement, and continue today to contribute in vital and innovative ways to architectural thought and practice have played significant role in making Chicago one of America's most dynamic centers for the visual arts. From the 19th century on, many Chicago architects, committed to cultural enrichment of the city, have served the museum as patrons, trustees, and designers of our building. Since the Art Institute began to collect architectural drawings in 1918 under the aegis of the Burnham Library, it has become a great repository...among America's large, general art museums...Chicago Architects Design, a handbook of architectural drawings in the Art Institute's collection,... highlighting the work and careers of Chicago architects..." -- J.N. Wood , Director, The Art Institute of Chicago
