Krátky popis
Chicago's beautiful Reliance Building, sixteen storeys tall, was
designed in 1890 by John Root and completed in 1895 by Charles B.
Atwood. In its construction - metal frame, large areas of plate
glass, fire-proof brick and terracotta cladding - it pioneers all
the key elements of twentieth-century high-rise architecture, and
many of the tenets of Modernism.Cruickshank reflects on the
extraordinary architectural, artistic and engineering world of the
1890s and its great figures such as Daniel H. Burnham, Louis
Sullivan and William Le Baron Jenney. He looks forward to the
Reliance building's immediate progeny, such as the 1902 Flatiron
Building in New York and to the hubristic high-rise architecture of
the twenty-first century.This is also the story of Gilded Age
Chicago, which was burned to the ground in 1871. The city -
corrupt, violent and fabulously wealthy - was ready to try
anything, even revolutionary forms of architecture.
