Description
Summary:	This illustrated survey of the Chicago skyscraper traces the history of the Chicago School buildings that influenced generations of architects worldwide. Beginning with the S.S. Berman Fine Arts Building of 1885 and its neighbor, the Adler and Sullivan Auditorium of 1889, the authors discuss 110 extant buildings dating from 1885 through 1989, concluding with a series of contemporary, modernist skyscrapers by the "new" generation of Chicago architects. Fifty of the 400 illustrations are in color. Annotation(c) 2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
