Engineer William Lebaron Jenny (1832 ~ 1907) is the founder of Chicago School. 1885, he completed the ten-story office building of Jiabao Building, which marked the real beginning of Chicago School and was the first steel frame structure.
Louis sullivan is an effective pillar of the Chicago School, and his advocacy of "form obeys function" paves the way for functional architecture. Sullivan's "Chicago CPS Department Store" describes the architectural features such as "high-rise, iron frame, large transverse windows and simple facade". The fa? ade adopts three stages: the ground floor and the second floor are floors with similar functions, the upper floor is the office floor, and the top floor is the equipment floor. The network facade with the window of Chicago as the main body embodies the characteristics of structure and function. Chicago CPS is a powerful masterpiece of Chicago Institute of Architecture. The earliest school of architecture in America is the founder of American modern architecture.
Chicago School highlights the main position of function in architectural design, clearly puts forward the view that form obeys function, tries to get rid of the fetters of eclecticism, discusses the application of new technology in high-rise buildings, emphasizes that architectural art should embody the characteristics of new technology, and advocates simple facade to conform to the spirit of industrialization of the times. The heyday of Chicago School was between 1883 and 1893. Its important contribution to architectural modeling is to create the "window of Chicago", that is, to open the whole room with large glass, forming a unique style with simple facade. The important contribution in engineering technology is the creation of high-rise metal frame structure and box foundation. (from the network)
There are many tall buildings in Chicago, but it doesn't feel too crowded. The steel bridge spans the Chicago River, and the subway rides on the steel bridge and passes through the buildings. It is like a science fiction film, but it also has a sense of historical vicissitudes. Chicago passes through the city and flows into Lake Michigan, tough and smart.
I wandered around the city center for a few days, walked into these buildings, cruised on the Chicago River and admired the buildings on both sides.
If you are a Batman fan, Batman's Dark Knight was filmed in Chicago, so when I drove through the underground passage, the mystery made me feel like I was in a Batman story. So, once you see Batman, you can experience the charming atmosphere of Chicago.
Mysterious underground passage
Civic Opera Building, the second grand theater in North America, was inspired by the decadent feeling of Versailles.
The subway crosses the bridge, just like some of our subway lines, except that they are all made of steel, and we are poured with concrete.
(This is the racing scene in The Dark Knight. )

The building that can be rented for 1 USD has been abandoned for many years, and it costs millions of dollars to maintain it every year. It's too big. It hasn't been sold yet. It is also the shooting scene of Batman.
Marina. City? -? Commonly known as corn building
Below the building is the harbor for boats, and the lower floor is the parking lot. Look at this open look, you will feel scared when parking. In addition to residential buildings, there are shopping centers, offices, cinemas and skating rinks in the building, just like a small city.

Another masterpiece of postmodernism, like the corn building, came from Bertrand? The writer is Master Goldberg.

Aquarium tower
The water ripple elevation on the right is Aqua Tower. The facade of the building is a combination of glass curtain wall and slightly different wavy balcony on each floor, which produces the effect of water ripples.
I can't remember the name, just like robotech.
Lukry building
One of the great-grandfather buildings in Chicago is one of the oldest high-rise buildings in Chicago. This building is nicknamed the "Bird's Nest" of Chicago by local residents. First of all, it used to be home to many crows and pigeons. Second, before coming here, it was the old city hall. The citizens satirized those gloomy politicians' reputation as crows.
Frank Llord Wright is also louis sullivan's assistant. He redesigned the glass roof for the hall and added Persian-style white marble inlaid with gold to make the whole lighting more reasonable and the whole decoration style more modern.
Flamingo sculpture
The flamingo sculpture at the entrance of the central square of the federal government, like ancient animals, is bright and dynamic. There is a market in the weekend square.

Chicago, one of the three major American newspapers? Tribune Headquarters 1922 As the 75th anniversary of Tribune, 264 creative groups from all over the world competed for "the most perfect architectural design in the world", and finally architect John? Honey wine? Howell and Raymond? m？ Hood's joint work won. Their design is a 36-story tower with a common flying crib at the top, and the detailed design of the entrance of the building is also full of Gothic style.
The building of Tribune was built in 1925, which has a strong Gothic Catholic church style. The walls of the building are inlaid with 130 pieces of building fragments from all over the world. For example, the Great Wall in China, the Forbidden City, the bricks in the White House, the stones in the pyramids, and the ruins of the World Trade Center that collapsed in the 9 1 1 incident. In addition, the rocks brought back from the moon by Apollo 15 are displayed in a window of the Tribune building. The reason why they are not embedded in the wall is that NASA does not allow them to do so.

Chicago Cultural Center
It used to be the earliest public library, and the most amazing thing inside the building is two gorgeous colored glass domes. Domes and chandeliers are made by Tiffany, and architectural design was also done before jewelry. The mosaic patterns on it originated in western Italy, and they are all made by hand. Among them, the inscriptions are poems, slang or famous sayings at that time, reflecting the literature and art at that time. Sunlight shines through the dome, which presents a circle of words and gives off colorful light. The main idea is: the importance of free reading to the public. The whole dome consists of 70 units, and it costs millions of dollars to disassemble, clean and assemble!

Designed by Indian-born British sculptor anis Kapoor, it is called "Bean". Just like a drop of silver, it can reflect the surrounding scenery without any decorative patterns. Designers call it "the Gate of Chicago", which embodies a poetic city.

Lake point tower
The scenery you can see from the balcony every day, the tallest pure apartment building in the world, is like petals. It was designed by the apprentice of architect Mies van der Rohe. The ingenuity of the design lies in the smooth design of the building. When the strong wind blows to the building from any angle, the angle design of 120 degrees can always subtly disperse the attack point of the wind, so that the wind direction can spread on both sides, effectively reducing the impact of the wind on the building. Otherwise, a windy city like Chicago is an independent building by the lake. Because of its superior geographical location, many celebrities live here.
