Summary: | Chicago is unique in the history of modern architecture. "Skyline: Chicago," a five part series, explores a century of Chicago's internationally acclaimed architecture, development & urban design. Each program features a different area of significance in the city & tells the story of how the buildings, people, politics & economics have shaped the city through time. The script is enlivened by noted architects & historians describing their works in their own words as well as by comments of civic leaders discussing Chicago's development. Chicago architecture is placed with a broad context: how have decisions about scale & style, form & function, economics & environment created the fabric of this quintessential American city. |
