Here's a trailer for new film worth seeing: a feature-length documentary that tells the story of revolutionary Chicago architect Louis Sullivan (1856-1924), one of my very favourite architects – his work, his rapid and early success, and the reasons behind his tragic decline.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
Wonderful find! Thanks for putting that up PC.
ReplyDeleteAnd what a contrast to the Soviet Concrete Cube school of architecture, eh? His work celebrates life, not power.
ReplyDeleteI know that Sullivan is big in Chicago, but I'm planning a trip to NY & possibly Chicago in the next year or so; so can anyone tell me the best time of the year to visit these two cities, and if you guys know of any official architectural tours, or of course is it best just to gawk upwards and do it oneself?
ReplyDeleteLook up the Chicago Architectural Foundation for tours.
