Tour a piedi di Chicago: grattacieli storici
Descrizione
Chicago ospita alcuni dei primi grattacieli del mondo. Dai un'occhiata da vicino a queste meraviglie del XIX secolo, scopri le innovazioni utilizzate per costruirle e scopri come hanno trasformato Chicago in un centro di progettazione e ingegneria di grattacieli. I punti salienti di questo tour a piedi includono Burnham and Root’s Rookery (1888), un edificio di transizione con un esterno moresco e romanico e uno splendido atrio interno ridisegnato da Frank Lloyd Wright; l’Auditorium Building di Adler e Sullivan (1889), un capolavoro di ingegneria acustica e strutturale; e il Marquette Building di Holabird e Roche (1895), un esempio eccezionale di espressione della struttura metallica con dettagli e decorazioni tradizionali.

Russell was an excellent tour guide, and there was plenty of great information, even for someone that went to school for architecture.

Excellent tour of some historic skyscrapers in downtown Chicago. The docent was very knowledgeable about the history of skyscrapers and was able to point out building details that I would have missed on my own. Highly recommend.

Anthony was an excellent guide, made the history of the buildings come alive! Now I see all the elements we discussed referenced in so many buildings all around Chicago. LOVED the inside and outside aspects, the hidden lobby gems!

This was a wonderful tour of Chicago's First Skyscrapers. Our tour guide was great! We visited the Auditorium Theater building, the Marquette Building, the Monadnock Building, the Rookery Building, the Fisher Building, the Manhattan Building, and a couple of others. Our guide told us about load-bearing buildings versus metal-frame buildings, beams and spandrels, the importance of windows (particularly bay windows) for light and ventilation, and much more.
We're so happy you enjoyed the tour and appreciate the great review!
