The Space Within: Inside Great Chicago Buildings - Pack of 1

"Dramatic exteriors, detailed interiors, and iconic images of ceilings, floors, staircases, windows, and interesting features are captured to perfection. . . . An exceptional virtual journey through time of Chicago's longstanding cultural history, this title is highly recommended for all collections."—Library Journal starred review 2016 Independent Publisher Book Awards Architecture category gold medal For the first time, the interiors of some of the Chicago area's greatest buildings, designed by celebrated architects, are brought together and featured in truly stunning original photographs. These Chicago-area homes, religious spaces, and commercial and public structures give visual meaning to Frank Lloyd Wright's belief that "the space within becomes the reality of the building." Beginning with the Clarke House of 1836 and continuing to the present, every type and style of building is presented. Famous residences such as Wright's Robie House and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House are here, but so are more modest (and not so modest) homes by Walter Burley Griffin, George Washington Maher, and Paul Schweikher. Text by author Patrick F. Cannon, who has lived and worked in Chicago and its suburbs for more than sixty years, discusses each building's architecture, architect, and place in history. James Caulfield, a noted architectural photographer, leads a visual tour into both the intimate and grand interiors of the Chicago area's finest buildings. The Space Within, the duo's fifth book, demonstrates that good design comes in many styles. While many of these architectural masterpieces are open to the public, others—particularly the private homes—can be seen only here. - INDIVIDUAL ITEM RRP £40
