Chicago Architecture and Urbanism, 1880-1910
ARHA 345 FA
This seminar focuses on the development of commercial and residential architecture in Chicago during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Emphasis is placed on the emergence of a regional school of architecture in
relation
to inherited stylistic traditions, innovations in building technique and surrounding conditions of urbanization. The works of the major figures, Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright, are considered for their
theoretical
origins and their contribution to later architecture in the 20th century.
