Book excerpt: An ideal guide for architects, builders, and all those who are passionate about architecture, this book takes the reader through the architecture of buildings in the heart of Chicago while providing a lesson in art history. Most of the inventions of modern architecture were born and tested in Chicago, from the balloon frame to the earliest skyscrapers providing a foundation for the newest generation of buildings that seemed to touch the sky.
