The chaotic proliferation of skyscrapers in many cities around the
world is contributing to a decline in placemaking. This book
examines the role of skyscrapers and open spaces in promoting
placemaking in the city of Chicago. Chicago's skyscrapers tell an
epic story of transformative architectural design, innovative
engineering solutions, and bold entrepreneurial spirit. The city's
public plazas and open spaces attract visitors, breathe life, and
bring balance into the cityscape. Using locational data from social
media platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, along
with imagery from Google Earth, fieldwork, direct observations,
in-depth surveys, and the combined insights from architectural and
urban design literature, this study reveals the roles that
socio-spatial clusters of skyscrapers, public spaces, architecture,
and artwork play to enhance placemaking in Chicago. The study
illustrates how Chicago, as the birthplace of skyscrapers, remains
a leading city in tall building integration and innovation.
Focusing on some of the finest urban places in America, including
the Chicago River, the Magnificent Mile, and the Chicago Loop, the
book offers meaningful architectural and urban design lessons that
are transferable to emerging skyscraper cities around the globe.
