The Chicago School of Architecture by Rolf Achilles
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? This title introduces the style of the First Chicago School from 1880 to 1910.
Rolf Achilles is an independent art historian, and has written and lectured extensively on Chicago’s culture and architecture. He teaches aspects of Historic Preservation and Art History at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and also consults extensively on sacred spaces, curates exhibitions, and is the founding curator of the Smith Museum of Stained Glass Windows.
