Chicago III

When we began planning our Chicago trip...okay that's an exaggeration. As we road in the van from the airport to our hotel, we began throwing out the buildings and monuments off the top of our heads that we knew were worth seeing in Chicago. We eventually came up with a hand full of both extremely contemporary works, and early 20th century works with the occasional Urban form or area. I eventually began to Google the city hoping to come up with some other good ideas..
If you are planning a trip to Chicago make sure to check out architecture.org (The Chicago Architectural Foundation). The Chicago Architectural Foundation is extremely active. They are located at 224 South Michigan Avenue. They have numerous tours and activities for tourists, as well as regularly scheduled lectures. Below are pictures of the model city we got to see. There are currently Centennial Events going on to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Burnham's plan.
