Chicago school (architecture)
In the history of
architecture, the
Chicago School was a group of American architects active in
Chicago at the turn of the
20th century. They were among the first to promote the new technologies of steel-frame construction in commercial buildings, and developed a spatial aesthetic which co-evolved with, and then came to influence, parallel developments in European
Modernism.
Architects whose names are associated with the Chicago School include Daniel Burnham, Louis Sullivan, and Frank Lloyd Wright.
