Updated and expanded to chart Chicago’s evolving urban landscape,
the third edition of this popular handbook is the perfect companion
for self-guided walking tours, as well as an excellent source of
information for those wishing to explore the internationally
acclaimed architecture of Chicago. Over 100 highlights of the
downtown area are covered, with accompanying maps, a glossary of
architectural terms and an index of architects and buildings
designed to orient the reader along architectural routes from
Michigan Avenue to the Riverfront to the Loop. Also included in
this third edition is a fourth section highlighting the city’s
diverse campus architecture, from work by Mies van der Rohe and Rem
Koolhaas at the Illinois Institute of Technology to the Hyde Park
neighborhood of the University of Chicago, where Frank Lloyd
Wright’s Robie House stands.
