Présentation de l'éditeur
President and Directors of theW orld sC olumbian Exposition, and especially the members of its Grounds and Buildings Committee; toM r. Daniel Hudson Burnham; toM r. Frederick Law Olmsted and Mr. John C. Olmsted ;to the editors of theN ew York Tribune ;and to the many other individuals who have permitted her to quote their utterances or writings, or have extended other courtesies expressive of sympathy with this work. The plan of the work, which confines the architectural review chiefly to one chapter, has made it impossible to place the drawings in direct relation to the text. They are distributed therefore through the book approximately in chronological order. Large commercial buildings prove stubborn subjects for illustration in little. The stern Monadnock, for example, so resists every effort to reduce its proportions effectively that in these pages no drawing of it has been attempted.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of John Wellborn Root, a prominent American architect who made his mark on the burgeoning city of Chicago in the late 19th century. The book explores Root's life from his childhood in the American South through his early training and struggles in New York, and finally his arrival in Chicago, where he formed a successful partnership with another architect, Daniel Burnham. The author traces Root's artistic development, highlighting his natural talent and the challenges he faced in finding his place within the rapidly evolving architectural landscape of the era. The book delves into the early years of the Burnham and Root partnership, which was marked by both financial hardship and creative innovation. The author skillfully portrays Rootââ â¢s artistic and personal qualities - his love of music and poetry, his intuitive design sense, and his capacity for deep friendships. The book ultimately reveals Root's influence as a pioneer in the field of architecture, offering insights into the creative spirit that shaped not only the city of Chicago but also the architectural styles of his time.
