Download or read book Chicago Architecture and Design (3rd edition) written by Jay Pridmore and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 972 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The birthplace of the skyscraper, Chicago is famous for an architectural tradition that has influenced building around the globe. It is the cradle of modern architecture. It gave rise to the urban office building and to the flowing, open floor plans of today’s homes. Chicago Architecture and Design chronicles the city’s architecture from the 19th through the early 21st century: from the structural simplicity of Chicago School commercial building to the low-slung Prairie School house, from the streamlined Art Deco skyscraper to the minimalist Miesian tower of glass and steel, and all the way through to the strikingly original, diverse designs of the present day’s second modern period. It examines the evolution of modern architecture in the context of broader historical, social, technological, and artistic currents and explores innovations that pushed buildings ever higher. This third edition adds 10 new buildings from the last decade, including Renzo Piano’s Modern Wing of the Art Institute, John Ronan’s Poetry Foundation, and Helmut Jahn’s Mansueto Library at the University of Chicago.

Book Synopsis The Chicago School of Architecture by : Carl W. Condit
Download or read book The Chicago School of Architecture written by Carl W. Condit and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1964 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thoroughly illustrated classic study traces the history of the world-famous Chicago school of architecture from its beginnings with the functional innovations of William Le Baron Jenney and others to their imaginative development by Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright. The Chicago School of Architecture places the Chicago school in its historical setting, showing it at once to be the culmination of an iron and concrete construction and the chief pioneer in the evolution of modern architecture. It also assesses the achievements of the school in terms of the economic, social, and cultural growth of Chicago at the turn of the century, and it shows the ultimate meaning of the Chicago work for contemporary architecture. "A major contribution [by] one of the world's master-historians of building technique."—Reyner Banham, Arts Magazine "A rich, organized record of the distinguished architecture with which Chicago lives and influences the world."—Ruth Moore, Chicago Sun-Times

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Chicago es una ciudad de rascacielos. Nueva York no lo es. Nueva York es una ciudad que es una enorme roca que ha sido tallada para hacer calles. [Gordon] Bunshaft siempre estaba celoso cuando venía a Chicago porque podía pararse y ver los edificios. En Nueva York no se puede hacer eso. Tienes que estar a kilómetros de distancia para ver los edificios". - Bruce Graham, arquitecto Caminando por Chicago hoy en día, es fácil olvidarse de su pasado como frontera rural, y eso se debe en gran parte a la forma en que Chicago respondió al Gran Incendio de 1871. Inmediatamente después del incendio, Chicago animó a sus habitantes y arquitectos a construir sobre las ruinas, estimulando la arquitectura creativa con elaborados diseños, y los arquitectos acudieron a la ciudad por la oportunidad de reconstruir la zona. En las décadas siguientes, Chicago fue reconstruida con la arquitectura y los monumentos más modernos del país, y los rascacielos de la Ciudad de los Vientos superaban los 20 pisos a principios del siglo 20th, pero la ciudad no tardaría en convertir sus primeros rascacielos en cosas del pasado. El Masonic Temple Building de Burnham, de 22 pisos de altura, que fue en su día el edificio más alto del mundo, fue demolido en favor de edificios que duplicaban su altura. thLos primeros rascacielos que siguen en pie parecen antigüedades comparados con el horizonte actual de Chicago, porque a mediados del siglo XX los arquitectos construyeron docenas de edificios mucho más altos por todo Chicago, a menudo levantando estas enormes estructuras en menos de una década. En 1968, los constructores terminaron el John Hancock Center, el primer edificio de Chicago que alcanzó los 100 pisos, pero el horizonte de Chicago adquirió su rasgo más icónico en 1973, año en que la Torre Sears, ya terminada, se convirtió en el edificio más alto del mundo. Aunque hoy en día se llama técnicamente Torre Willis, el monumento más emblemático de Chicago sigue siendo la Torre Sears. La Torre Sears sólo tardó dos años en construirse y costó unos 150 millones de dólares, y sigue siendo el segundo edificio más alto de Estados Unidos, un hecho que los habitantes de Chicago debaten acaloradamente después de que se considerara que la Torre Sears era más baja que la nueva Torre de la Libertad de Nueva York. En 1969, Sears quiso crear un gran espacio de oficinas para sus empleados en la ciudad, y encargó a la firma Skidmore, Owings & Merrill el diseño y la construcción de la estructura. La empresa concibió el ahora famoso diseño, en el que los primeros 50 pisos de la estructura estaban conectados por lo que son esencialmente nueve edificios separados en forma de tubo. Después del piso 50th, siete de los nueve tubos se elevan hasta el piso 90th . A partir de ahí, sólo dos tubos se elevan hasta la planta 108th del edificio. Este diseño da a la Torre Sears la apariencia de un gran edificio a nivel del suelo que se estrecha gradualmente hasta convertirse en un rectángulo más delgado en la parte superior. Naturalmente, el tamaño y la forma de la Torre Sears la han convertido en un objetivo atractivo para los temerarios a los que les gusta escalar rascacielos y otras estructuras altas. En 1981, Dan Goodwin utilizó ventosas para escalar el edificio y evitar a las autoridades que intentaban detenerle. Para mayor efecto, Goodwin llevaba un traje de Spiderman. Y lo que es aún más impresionante, en 1999 el francés Alain Robert escaló el edificio con las manos desnudas y zapatillas de escalada. Por supuesto, las personas que buscan una forma más segura de llegar a la cima pueden subir en ascensor a una plataforma de observación en la planta 103rd, y más de un millón de personas eligen esta opción cada año.

Book Synopsis The Chicago School of Architecture by : Rolf Achilles
Download or read book The Chicago School of Architecture written by Rolf Achilles and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-06-10 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The birth of the skyscraper in Chicago in the mid-1880s introduced a new direction for city architecture: upwards. But how-and why- was it that Chicago set the standard for high-rise buildings, not only across the USA but all over the world? Rolf Achilles here introduces the style of the First Chicago School from 1880 to 1910, explaining the innovative use of iron frames for strength, height and openness, and the ubiquity of gridded window arrangements. With reference to such famous architects as William Le Baron Jenny and Frank Lloyd Wright, and colorful pictures of, among many others, the Reliance, Brooks and Marquette buildings, this book is a fascinating exploration of the structures that helped to give Chicago its identity, and the world a new way of building.
Book Synopsis The Charnley House by : Elizabeth Collins Cromley
Download or read book The Charnley House written by Elizabeth Collins Cromley and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situated in Chicago's famed Gold Coast, just north of the Magnificent Mile, the Charnley house is one of the finest dwellings in the city and considered worldwide to be a stunning example of avant-garde architecture. Now the headquarters of the Society of Architectural Historians and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1998, the house was built in 1892 at a critical moment in urban and architectural history. The Charnley House is the first authoritative publication on the building, which has long been discussed in surveys but never before examined in detail. In this collection of original essays, six well-known architectural historians illuminate various aspects of the house, both inside and out, as they consider its remarkable formal and spatial qualities, its historical significance in the development of Chicago's elite residential neighborhood, and its place in the context of American domestic architecture. Equally important, the contributors tackle the knotty, decades-old issue concerning the building's designer. While many have ascribed the scheme to Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Sullivan's chief assistant at the time, this book sheds new light on how the house relates significantly to the work of both master and apprentice. The continuing debate over the house's "authorship" highlights the importance of the Charnley house in the history of modern architecture as the seminal work of residential design in the United States. These thoroughly researched interpretations, supplemented by an abundance of never before published illustrations, analyze this house of distinction with the care and detail it deserves. Beautifully restored in late 1980s, the Charnley house now has a book worthy of it.
