Architecture writer Pridmore and designer Larson chart the course of modern architecture and design in the windy city. They describe its roots, the Chicago school, Frank Lloyd Wright, from arts and crafts to art deco, the rise of modernism, modern and postmodern Chicago, and Chicago's second modern period. Photographs are by the Hedrich Blessing studio. The book has been completely redesigned and expanded since the 1993 edition, and includes a new final chapter on the signature works of the last twenty years--including Frank Gehry's Millennium Park bandshell (2004).
