Masterpieces of Chicago Architecture

Chicago is universally recognized as the cradle of modern architecture. It is known worldwide for the development, beginning in the late 1800s, of the renowned 'Chicago School' of commercial building. The 200 illustrations in this volume all come from The Art Institute of Chicago's repository of 150.000 architectural drawings, vintage photographs, models, and building fragments, which comprise one of the most important such archives.
