Chicagoisms

More about the book

Chicago has long captured the global imagination as a place of tall, shining buildings rising from the fog, the playground for many of architecture's greats-from Mies van der Rohe to Frank Lloyd Wright-and a surprising epicenter for modern construction and building techniques. In this volume, Alexander Eisenschmidt and Jonathan Mekinda have brought together a diverse pool of curators, artists, architects, historians, critics, and theorists to produce a multifarious portrait of the Second City.00.
