  • Renaissance Architecture

    Renaissance Architecture

    CHICAGO SCHOOL & WORKS OF LOUIS SULLIVAN Lesson 6 INTRODUCTION TO CHICAGO SCHOOL The Chicago school was a style that developed as a result of the Great Fire of Chicago in 1871. Before the fire, buildings were built of huge amounts of stone, and could not be very high. Growing use of the elevator, and the steel skeleton, the buildings grew taller and taller. The steel structure also allowed windows to be made bigger. Architects were encouraged to build higher structures because of the escalating land prices Conscious of the possibilities of the new materials and structures they developed buildings in which: Isolated footing supported a skeleton of iron encased in masonry There were: fireproof floors, numerous fast elevators and gas light The traditional masonry wall became curtains, full of glass, supported by the metal skeleton The first skyscrapers were born. • Chicago's architecture is famous throughout the world and one style is referred to as the Chicago School. • The style is also known as Commercial style. In the history of architecture, the Chicago School was a school of architects active in Chicago at the turn of the 20th century. • They were among the first to promote the new technologies of steel-frame construction in commercial buildings, and developed a spatial aesthetic which co-evolved with, and then came to influence, parallel developments in European Modernism. • A "Second Chicago School" later emerged in the 1940s and 1970s which pioneered new building technologies and structural systems such as the tube-frame structure. • Some of the distinguishing features of the Chicago School are the use of steel-frame buildings with masonry cladding (usually terra cotta), allowing large plate-glass window areas and limiting the amount of exterior ornamentation.
