I have been to Chicago, Illinios for four days in August 2013 …
This city is packed full of marvellous architecture… and people going about their business.
The Wrigley building – designed by the architectural firm of Graham, Anderson, Probst & White using the shape of the Giralda tower of Seville’s Cathedral combined with French Renaissance details and the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, architect and interior designer who lived in Chicago and designed many of the buildings here.
Upper: The Wrigley’s Building – two towers going up to the 21st floor and the 30th floor. This was Chicago’s first AIR-CONDITIONED office tower. In light and dark, the building is the same.Lower: Reading … with a ‘Borders” cast iron and aluminum figure.
Upper: Bright yellow umbrella on the balcony.Lower: Skyline!
