This book has a threefold purpose: first, to place the Chicago School in its historical setting, showing it as at once the culmination of a century"s development in iron and later concrete construction and the chief pioneer in the evolution of modern architecture; second, to assess the achievements of the School in terms of the economic, social, and cultural growth of Chicago at the turn of the century; and, third, to show the ultimate meaning of the Chicago work for contemporary architecture.
