The authors have added many new descriptions and images of the most important projects in Chicago since the fourth edition, including the massive reconstruction of Grant Park around Frank Gehry's Music Pavilion, and they cover as well the current status of older buildings some destroyed, others, such as Burnham's Reliance Building, marvelously restored and brought back to life. "Chicago's Famous Buildings," fifth edition, also includes expanded sections on the city's future and the development of its diverse neighborhoods, presented with new maps to serve as an even more effective walking guide. A glossary of architectural terms, an extensive index, and more than sixty new photographs of both old and new buildings bring this guide completely up-to-date. Authoritative, informative, and easier to use than ever before, this fifth edition of "Chicago's Famous Buildings" will serve tourists and residents alike as the leading architectural guide to the treasures of this marvelous city." |
