Chicago is that rare American city that draws visitors just to see its
architecture. Famous designers like Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright, Daniel

Architecture. Contemporary stars like Frank Gehry, Rem Koolhaas, and Renzo
Piano have left their mark as well.

jewels with the outspoken commentary of Edward Keegan, an award-winning
observer and participant in the local scene for a quarter century. Whether

Architecture: A Critical Guide by Edward Keegan" will instruct and entertain.
