For more than a century, Chicago's skyline has included some of the world's most distinctive and inspiring buildings. This history of the Windy City's skyscrapers begins in the key period of reconstruction after the Great Fire of 1871 and concludes in 1934 with the onset of the Great Depression, which brought architectural progress to a standstill. Leslie reveals the daily struggles, technical breakthroughs, and negotiations that produced these magnificent buildings.

Célébrés par Rem Koolhaas dans New York délire (1978), les deux textes rassemblés ici éclairent, au lendemain de la Prohibition et de la Grande Dépression, la progressive relégation de la Gotham City du lac Michigan, où Raymond Hood (1881-1934) venait d'ériger la tour du Chicago Tribune (1922-1925). Désormais, c'est dans l'effervescence du New York Art Déco que tout se passe. Pour son ami Hugh Ferriss, Manhattan préfigure même la Metropolis du futur. Dans " Une Ville sous un seul toit " (1929), Hood imagine de petites villes dans la ville, tandis que dans " L'Architecture de Rockefeller City " (1932), il transpose le modèle idéal en chantier opérationnel.

The Seagram building rises over New York's Park Avenue, seeming to float above the street with perfect lines of bronze and glass. Considered one of the greatest icons of twentieth-century architecture, the building was commissioned by Samuel Bronfman, founder of the Canadian distillery dynasty Seagram. Bronfman's daughter Phyllis Lambert was twenty-seven years old when she took over the search for an architect and chose Mies van der Rohe (18861969), a pioneering modern master of what he termed "skin and bones" architecture. Mies, who designed the elegant, deceptively simple thirty-eight-story tower along with Philip Johnson (19062005), emphasized the beauty of structure and fine materials, and set the building back from the avenue, creating an urban oasis with the building's plaza. Through her choice, Lambert established her role as a leading architectural patron and singlehandedly changed the face of American urban architecture. Building Seagram is a comprehensive personal and scholarly history of a major building and its architectural, cultural, and urban legacies. Lambert makes use of previously unpublished personal archives, company correspondence, and photographs to tell an insider's view of the debates, resolutions, and unknown dramas of the building's construction, as well as its crucial role in the history of modern art and architectural culture.
