Some architects regard a visit to Chicago as equal in importance to
a pilgrimage to Rome or Athens: The soaring American metropolis at
the shores of Lake Michigan has amassed an unmatched collection of
first-rate buildings in every possible style since late
nineteenth-century industrialization. This book looks at Chicago
through the prism of Post-Modernism - under the premise that this
style did not cease to exist sometime in the 1990s, but is, in
fact, still with us today. Starting with the 1978 Illinois Regional
Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, curator and
critic Vladimir Belogolovsky presents 100 structures, most of which
were created after the turn of the millennium. These lavishly
illustrated building descriptions are supplemented by introductory
essays and interviews with Chicago architects, including Stanley
Tigerman, Helmut Jahn and Jeanne Gang.
