Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook for Architects and Builders: Published Under the Auspices of the Chicago Architects' Business Association; 1904, Seventh Year Attention is drawn to the Ordinance governing Sidewalks and Vault Covers, which is published for the first time as amended; it is an important matter and a place is gladly given to it. The Lien Law, in operation from July, 1903, is still new to many users of this book, and it is again inserted as valuable information. Important additions are made to the items connected with weights and measures, and data inci dental to Brewery work are added. Papers on Asbestos, Iron Construction, Varnishes, The Modern Store Front, Magnesite Construction, The Architect - His Rights, Remedies, Duties and Responsibilities, and other practical matters of every-day interest are given prominence and are worth reading and study. Extended tables of safe loads for White and Yellow Pine are inserted and will be found exceedingly useful and time-saving. They have been most carefully worked out, and may be accepted as authentic. The lists of City Officials, Members of the Municipal Art League, Civil Service Commission, Licensed Architects, Illinois Chapter of the Ameri can Institute, Chicago Architects' Business Association, Architectural Club and other organizations, are inserted and corrected to time of going to press. It is impossible in this introduction to enumerate all the features of information in this year's issue; suffice it to say that the enquiries for the Handbook from every State of the Union, have been such that no opportunity to meet the requirements of the many users of the work is allowed to slip by.

Download or read book The Chicago School of Architecture written by Carl W. Condit and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1964 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thoroughly illustrated classic study traces the history of the world-famous Chicago school of architecture from its beginnings with the functional innovations of William Le Baron Jenney and others to their imaginative development by Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright. The Chicago School of Architecture places the Chicago school in its historical setting, showing it at once to be the culmination of an iron and concrete construction and the chief pioneer in the evolution of modern architecture. It also assesses the achievements of the school in terms of the economic, social, and cultural growth of Chicago at the turn of the century, and it shows the ultimate meaning of the Chicago work for contemporary architecture. "A major contribution [by] one of the world's master-historians of building technique."—Reyner Banham, Arts Magazine "A rich, organized record of the distinguished architecture with which Chicago lives and influences the world."—Ruth Moore, Chicago Sun-Times

Download or read book Henry Ives Cobb s Chicago written by Edward W. Wolner and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2011-06-30 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When championing the commercial buildings and homes that made the Windy City famous, one can’t help but mention the brilliant names of their architects—Daniel Burnham, Louis Sullivan, and Frank Lloyd Wright, among others. But few people are aware of Henry Ives Cobb (1859–1931), the man responsible for an extraordinarily rich chapter in the city’s turn-of-the-century building boom, and fewer still realize Cobb’s lasting importance as a designer of the private and public institutions that continue to enrich Chicago’s exceptional architectural heritage. Henry Ives Cobb’s Chicago is the first book about this distinguished architect and the magnificent buildings he created, including the Newberry Library, the Chicago Historical Society, the Chicago Athletic Association, the Fisheries Building for the 1893 World’s Fair, and the Chicago Federal Building. Cobb filled a huge institutional void with his inventive Romanesque and Gothic buildings—something that the other architect-giants, occupied largely with residential and commercial work, did not do. Edward W. Wolner argues that these constructions and the enterprises they housed—including the first buildings and master plan for the University of Chicago—signaled that the city had come of age, that its leaders were finally pursuing the highest ambitions in the realms of culture and intellect. Assembling a cast of colorful characters from a free-wheeling age gone by, and including over 140 images of Cobb’s most creative buildings, Henry Ives Cobb’s Chicago is a rare achievement: a dynamic portrait of an architect whose institutional designs decisively changed the city’s identity during its most critical phase of development.
