This is a world class city with so much to offer and it’s an architectural Mecca. I’m from Chicago and I actually plan to stay and reside here in the future. I love it here so much. I encourage all people to visit Chicago because it’s full of so much beauty and culture, it’s just like any other cities with rich parts and poor parts and crime, every city has that! This city is what the definition of what metropolitan America is! Please come visit, it’s amazing.

Also - next door to Nicherson and across the street are other historic buildings owned by Driehaus foundation included his personal/company office. It's "Driehaus Corner" in many ways, but we could only talk about one building. Richard was a true patron of Architecture and was beloved here in town. AIA Chicago gave him the Lifetime Achievement award and the Mayor of Chicago introduced him for the honor. His passing this past year has been a blow to the local Architecture community but also the profession. He was a legend. Thank you for mentioning his impact and cracking the door open for me to expand on him and his influence!

As a native Chicagoan, the Tribune Tower has always stuck out as my favorite building within our skyline (The John Hancock building being a close second).

@HTtwentyten Жыл бұрын
But Luciano, the public despises the 'rational and modernist' buildings your discipline has forced you to pursue. There is massive positive sentiment for bringing back some of the aesthetic traditions that modernist ideology forced us to reject, and this is supported by the cost savings of modern construction / fabrication methods. Modernism has enough adherents. Please, join the growing number of architects who are trying to fulfil the public need for the aesthetic principles that millenia of human experience has taught us is objectively desirable.

This was a great overview of Chicago's River North architecture. One bit of trivia regarding The Merchandise Mart. The building is so big that it has its own city zip code. However, I can't believe you omitted Marina City, Bertrand Goldberg's masterpiece just north of the river or Tree Studios which were designed by the Parfitt Brothers and served as an artists' colony until the property values of River North pushed them out and were replaced by high-end retail.
@lyndadossey Жыл бұрын
Marina is on a previously released tour. Hope you check it out. Love the Tree Studios - along with several other gems in River North that just were not able to be included this time. I am sad "Design Within Reach" left Tree studios because they gave an amazing opportunity to see the inside the studios as well as the fine detailing on the exterior. the Champagne Bar remains.... I still can't believe how close those buildings came to being demolished.
@jamesslate1026 Жыл бұрын
@@lyndadossey I lived in River North for nine years and watched the neighbourhood change dramatically, as every vacant parking lot was transformed into a high-rise. I also remember the controversy over the preservation of Tree Studios. The outpost for Bloomingdales Home still occupies the former Masonic Temple, another architectural gem of Chicago's River North.

It turned out to be the GE plant in Schenectady and this made complete sense. For those who have never seen it, the plant is enormous - it's like a city.

I very much enjoyed this video which touched on a bit of family and personal history. My great great Grandfather (Justice Peter Foote) was a child survivor of the Irish potato famine who after getting a degree from Fordham moved here to join the faculty of St. Mary of the Lake college which at the time had offices just West of the Water Tower. He edited The Monthly, the first Catholic magazine in the Midwest, read for the bar, added law to his career and was the 2nd Professor of Law at Notre Dame. He went on to become a judge in Chicago after the Illinois Constitution was revised in 1865 and practiced until his death. Both my mom and I worked for different employees in the Mart. I was in the Planning Division of the CTA which was in room 700 for a number of years until the CTA moved into its own building at 120 North Racine after the Chicago Flood. I wish some of the interiors of the buildings you described could have been somewhat covered. Perhaps that’s a different series.
