Chicago from 1871-1893 Is the Focus of This Lecture
Chicago from 1871-1893 is the focus of this lecture. [19 Nov 2013 - abridged in part from the course Perspectives on the Evolution of Structures which introduces the principles of Structural Art and the lecture Root, Khan, and the Rise of the Skyscraper (Chicago). A lecture based in part on David Billington’s Princeton course and by scholarship from B. Schafer on Chicago. Carl Condit’s work on Chicago history and Daniel Hoffman’s books on Root provide the most important sources for this work. Also Leslie’s recent work on Chicago has become an important source. Significant new notes and themes have been added to this version after new reading in 2013] [24 Feb 2014, added Sullivan in for the Perspectives course version of this lecture, added more signposts etc. w.r.t to what the students need and some active exercises.] image: http://www.richard- seaman.com/USA/Cities/Chicago/Landmarks/index.ht ml Chicago today demonstrates the allure and power of the skyscraper, and here on these very same blocks is where the skyscraper was born. image: 7-33 chicago fire ruins_150dpi.jpg, replaced with same picture from wikimedia commons 2013 Here we see the result of the great Chicago fire of 1871, shown from corner of Dearborn and Monroe Streets. This is the most obvious social condition to give birth to the skyscraper, but other forces were at work too. Social conditions in Chicago were unique in 1871. Of course the fire destroyed the CBD. The CBD is unique being hemmed in by the Lakes and the railroads. -

ENGINEERING YOURSELF INTO a CORNER with a PCB DESIGN by Angie Brown, PCB Product Manager Epec Engineered Technologies
ENGINEERING YOURSELF INTO A CORNER WITH A PCB DESIGN By Angie Brown, PCB Product Manager Epec Engineered Technologies As a manufacturer of printed circuit boards, we see many different flavors of PCBs. The complexity of a printed circuit board has changed greatly over the years. In this article, we will discuss the top design issues we see repeatedly that cause process challenges, scrap, and fallout. Data Review During pre-production design review, engineering will use a preset parameter for automated inspection. Prior to inspection beginning all the circuit board layers are checked for alignment to each other and to the supplied drill and non-plated drill. Verification of a 1-to-1 outline is also needed for measurement, data to datum checks, and copper checks. Often a 1:1 Gerber file outline is not supplied and must be created by engineering or copied from a layer if there is one supplied on the Gerber layers. A complete dimensioned drawing or fabrication drawing is key to programming and design for manufacturing checks. A Gerber outline should be exact to the desired PCB profile. It should include a hole to board edge dimension X, Y a hole chart, any cutout features, or slots. Every parameter checked in preproduction CAM somehow relates back to the outline. You can see (Figure 1) the importance of having a 1:1 Gerber file outline. This PCB has many cuts creating the profile, without a supplied outline and a dimensional drawing it would be difficult to interpret what the actual should be. We can measure and create a routing profile from the 1:1 Gerber file. -

Coco Chanel's Comeback Fashions Reflect
CRITICS SCOFFED BUT WOMEN BOUGHT: COCO CHANEL’S COMEBACK FASHIONS REFLECT THE DESIRES OF THE 1950S AMERICAN WOMAN By Christina George The date was February 5, 1954. The time—l2:00 P.M.1 The place—Paris, France. The event—world renowned fashion designer Gabriel “Coco” Cha- nel’s comeback fashion show. Fashion editors, designers, and journalists from England, America and France waited anxiously to document the event.2 With such high anticipation, tickets to her show were hard to come by. Some mem- bers of the audience even sat on the floor.3 Life magazine reported, “Tickets were ripped off reserved seats, and overwhelmingly important fashion maga- zine editors were sent to sit on the stairs.”4 The first to walk out on the runway was a brunette model wearing “a plain navy suit with a box jacket and white blouse with a little bow tie.”5 This first design, and those that followed, disap- 1 Axel Madsen, Chanel: A Woman of her Own(New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1990), 287. 2 Madsen, Chanel: A Woman of her Own, 287; Edmonde Charles-Roux, Chanel: Her Life, her world-and the women behind the legend she herself created, trans.

805 15Th STREET, NW "Make No Little Plans, They Have No Magic to Stir Men's Blood."
805 15th STREET, NW "Make no little plans, they have no magic to stir men's blood." - Daniel H. Burnham THE GREATER 15TH STREET FINANCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT As the city’s population continued to increase during the late 19th century, the number of financial institutions grew correspondingly – primarily in and around the Department of Treasury at 15th Street & New York Avenue, NW. As business expanded, the size and number of the city’s fi- nancial institutions, especially the Trust companies, and their associated real estate businesses similarly grew. As a reflection of this growth and prosperity, the city’s financial institutions began to build highly visible and monumental headquarter buildings. Essentially simultaneous to the development of banks and office buildings at 14th and G Streets, the 15th Street corridor grew beyond its cluster of bank buildings next to the Trea- sury, ultimately inspiring a linear growth of banking-related enterprises up to and including McPherson Square, of which The Southern Building is a superior example. WORLD RENOWNED ARCHITECTURE Designed by renowned, Daniel H. Burnham (1846-1912), The Southern Building opened in 1910 initially leased to, and owned and occupied by two insurance companies: the First National Fire Insurance Company and the Commercial Fire Insurance Company. The impact Mr. Burnham had on urban planning and the American city is still felt today, more than 100 years after his death. Over the course of his illustrious career, Burnham pioneered some of the world’s first skyscrapers, inspired the City Beautiful Movement with his vision for the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, and created urban plans for numerous cities before urban planning even existed as a profession. -

The Rookery Chicago Illinois
VOLUME 25 NUMBER 1 JANUARY-MARCH 1995 OFFICE THE ROOKERY CHICAGO, ILLINOIS PROJECT TYPE An outstanding restoration of a historic, century-old, 12-story office building. The developer's strategy was to restore the 293,962-square-foot building's historic architectural interiors on the ground and mezzanine levels and to incorporate state-of-the-art HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), electrical, elevator, security, and telecommunications systems into the upper floors of office space without losing the feeling of the old building. This project sets the standard for future commercial renovations and proves that the cost of expensive, high-quality restoration can be recovered in Class A rents. SPECIAL FEATURES Historic preservation Landmark office building Successful conversion of a vacant, deteriorated building into modern Class A office space DEVELOPER Baldwin Development Company 209 South LaSalle Street, Suite 400 Chicago, Illinois 60604 312-553-6100 OWNER Rookery Partners Limited Partnership 209 South LaSalle Street, Suite 400 Chicago, Illinois 60604 312-553-6100 RESTORATION ARCHITECT McClier Corporation 401 East Illinois, Suite 625 Chicago, Illinois 60611 312-836-7700 GENERAL DESCRIPTION Following one of the most extensive restorations of a historic office building ever undertaken, the 109-year-old Rookery Building, located in the heart of Chicago's financial district, has reclaimed its former splendor. With painstaking exactitude, Baldwin Development Company and its restoration architect have brought back elements of the Rookery's three eras—Daniel Burnham and John Wellborn Root's original 1886 design, Frank Lloyd Wright's 1905 modernization of the interior, and a 1931 remodeling by William Drummond—while at the same time renovating the office floors to compete with the most expensive, recently constructed office space inside Chicago's Loop.
