Guide to Chicago's Twenty-First-Century Architecture

"Architect Hill’s enjoyable guide to 200 marvelous buildings and landscapes constructed in Chicago since 2000 shines in its depiction of the city’s culture and history. Clearly discussing state-of-the-art land use practices, creative infrastructure improvements, and energy-efficient construction, the volume provides a window into best practices in urban architecture, development, and planning." --Library Journal

"A visually stunning piece of work." --Architects and Artisans

"This book convincingly argues that in just twenty short years Chicago has emerged from a period of architectural doldrums to regain its place at the front of the pack in innovative and daring design. And not only downtown showpieces! This guide dives deeply into neighborhoods and some suburban areas to shine a light on surprising and obscure gems. And it celebrates a new internationalism that has brought architects from around the world to add to Chicago's trophy shelf of outstanding talent and built work. True to the Chicago Architecture Center's educational mission, this book is thoroughly researched, offers a primer in diverse local history, and gives newbies a lesson in the special language of architecture."--Geoffrey Baer, host, WTTW
