From the Publisher
Named the Most Distinguished catalogue of 1993 by the Society of Architectural Historians.
From Library Journal
In 1987-88, the Art Institute of Chicago sponsored a very successful exhibition and book titled Chicago Architecture 1872-1922: Birth of a Metropolis (Prestel, 1988). Also edited by Zukowsky, that earlier volume, devoted to the so-called Chicago School of Architecture of the late 19th century and the City Beautiful movement that followed, is brought up-to-date with this thick book. The last 70 years of Chicago's architectural history are covered in 17 scholarly essays, a small catalog of illustrations, and a biographical glossary of Chicago architects. Essay topics range from the development of transportation facilities, to the emergence of suburban development, to the politics of architecture in the city. The volume is billed as "the first major study of Chicago's architectural achievements in the 20th century," and it lives up to its billing. Highly recommended.
