I need people to understand this, if you travel and you’re scared to come to Chicago because of how the media portrays it, stop it! This is a world class city with so much to offer and it’s an architectural Mecca. I’m from Chicago and I actually plan to stay and reside here in the future. I love it here so much. I encourage all people to visit Chicago because it’s full of so much beauty and culture, it’s just like any other cities with rich parts and poor parts and crime, every city has that! This city is what the definition of what metropolitan America is! Please come visit, it’s amazing.

Fascinating. I wish you would do future episodes with her inside some of the buildings. Let her spend some time focusing on the interiors, and how they've changed over the years.

Another point about Richard Driehaus that should have been mentioned was his enormous contribution to the fields of architecture and historic preservation particularly with the renowned global Driehaus Architecture Prize for contemporary traditional and classical architecture.

Also - next door to Nicherson and across the street are other historic buildings owned by Driehaus foundation included his personal/company office. It's "Driehaus Corner" in many ways, but we could only talk about one building. Richard was a true patron of Architecture and was beloved here in town. AIA Chicago gave him the Lifetime Achievement award and the Mayor of Chicago introduced him for the honor. His passing this past year has been a blow to the local Architecture community but also the profession. He was a legend. Thank you for mentioning his impact and cracking the door open for me to expand on him and his influence!

I’m always excited to see the John Hancock building, because my father helped build it. The Merchandise Mart was also owned by the Kennedy family.

I really enjoy her walking tours

The sight of these older buildings is so uplifting. Also the high sealings make it pleasent, even if there are a lot of people arround. We need a renaissance.

Love these videos, especially those set in Chicago. Hyde Park (with my alma mater, UChicago) would be a great neighborhood for AD to explore next!

I used to work in the Wrigley Building I always appreciated how beautiful it is.

I did a walking tour of many of these buildings about 20 years ago. This brought back many memories of the wonderful city of Chicago.

This is an example of KZread at its best. Entertaining and I learned some stuff. I've been to Chicago once as a visitor and dozens of times on business and I've seen some of these buildings in person, but even if I went back I'd not have learned as much as I did watching this.

Pleeeease keep on feeding these videos . And she is doing a fabulous job showcasing it.. Thaaaank you.

Please make more of these features with Lynda. Her passion for the history and art of the city makes these videos such a delight.

As a native Chicagoan, the Tribune Tower has always stuck out as my favorite building within our skyline (The John Hancock building being a close second). My godmother lived in a condo directly behind the Wrigley Building and that view will forever be framed in my mind. Glad to see our city get the respect it deserves as an architectural landmark!

I’m thinking the same thing as I watch from Marina City (which I was hoping would be included)!

This was a great overview of Chicago's River North architecture. One bit of trivia regarding The Merchandise Mart. The building is so big that it has its own city zip code. However, I can't believe you omitted Marina City, Bertrand Goldberg's masterpiece just north of the river or Tree Studios which were designed by the Parfitt Brothers and served as an artists' colony until the property values of River North pushed them out and were replaced by high-end retail.

@lyndadossey

Marina is on a previously released tour. Hope you check it out. Love the Tree Studios - along with several other gems in River North that just were not able to be included this time. I am sad "Design Within Reach" left Tree studios because they gave an amazing opportunity to see the inside the studios as well as the fine detailing on the exterior. the Champagne Bar remains.... I still can't believe how close those buildings came to being demolished.

@@lyndadossey I lived in River North for nine years and watched the neighbourhood change dramatically, as every vacant parking lot was transformed into a high-rise. I also remember the controversy over the preservation of Tree Studios.

I´m an architect, we are all trained to love rational and modernist buildings, like the entries of Gropious, Le Corbusier and Mies, but the Tribune tower.... is just so gorgeous and is very easy to understand why people love that kind of unneceasry ornemant design more than the ´´honest'' ones we persuit, because is human, rich in complexity and enchanting

But Luciano, the public despises the 'rational and modernist' buildings your discipline has forced you to pursue. There is massive positive sentiment for bringing back some of the aesthetic traditions that modernist ideology forced us to reject, and this is supported by the cost savings of modern construction / fabrication methods. Modernism has enough adherents. Please, join the growing number of architects who are trying to fulfil the public need for the aesthetic principles that millenia of human experience has taught us is objectively desirable.

I love these tours so much. Would LOVE to see these all over but won't complain about a couple more Chicago/New York videos as well.

4:45 "So we are merging together architecture and structure in a moment but it's actually one big moment diagram of the forces" gotta love that word play

Give us all the architectural city tours!! Love them.

Both of the architects of the Hancock are both buried at Graceland Cemetery in Uptown Chicago- their monuments are both beautiful & it's free to visit- basically a park with better sculptures and an open air museum all in one

Had the opportunity to visit the Merchandise Mart a couple times. Father was an architect and took us kids to see it. You could spend a month in that place and not see it all, not even kidding. I remember watching the Sears Tower going up as a kid there. Different part of town but not to far. I felt very blessed to enjoy all of that as a kid...it was cool. Nothing else compares.

I'm shocked she didn't mention the Merchandise Mart had it's own zip code until about 2008.

Another great River North building is the Woman’s Athletic Club. It’s spectacular inside and out.

Love lynda and love this series! I can't wait to be back in Chicago to appreciate this architecture in person.

yes Please! This is just a micron of the architecture. We had to narrow what we were able to share. So definitely come and immerse yourself in all of the amazing buildings. Plus go inside many of them too! something our effort and schedule was not able to permit!

What a wonderful tour. Chicago, though ive never been, seems absolutely astounding. What a magnificent city.

This is fantastic. I love hearing expert architects explain these details. Thank you!

What a treat, to hear from someone with such extensive knowledge. Lynda did a wonderful job!

I love this series so much! Please consider including a New Orleans Walking Tour.

Wonderful tour! Thank you. I hope AD considers doing more like this.

Another one!!! Could listen to her talk for hours - love her!!!

Excellent overview of a few of the important downtown buildings. I look forward to seeing more of these.

The Graham Anderson photo was beautifully composed. Its soft everywhere but right in the middle of his face. Amazing use of depth of field.

These videos somehow reduce my anxiety. Thank you!

Thanks. As a former Chicagoan, this took me down memory lane. The book of Tribune Tower Architectural submissions is fascinating.

Excellent, can you please show us the really juicy stuff, like the old, secret places in Chicago!

That was awesome. Kind of a typical downplay-it Chicago vibe in the presentation. Really good.

I love my city. Such a great history in the buildings.

1minute in and I already fell in love with her voice and the way she talks with so many nice infos.

Great show, I've been a fan of architecture my whole life, mainly skyscrapers, but I love everything from a ranch house to the empire state building. Thank you.

Thanks for the great Chicago architectural design history.

The building right next to the Driehaus Museum is one of my favorite buildings in that area, some really interesting stonework/decoration.

Chicago, the architectural center of the world!! Architectural designs of skyscrapers originated here!

Chicago downtown is wonderful. I ❤ Chicago.

The Tribune Tower is so unapologetically Gothic and I love it. You'd think that the relatively unadorned verticality would clash with the gothic buttresses and ornamentation near the top, but no. It feeds into it and makes those structures seem more significant in scale than they actually are. It's a fantastic bit of architecture and I really hope it's on a protected sites list already so idiots can't just tear it down in the future.

Yes more chicago please!!!!!

So this first building I see the bridge between the two buildings was a focus. I like how intricate and large scale this lighter building with the bridge is. It reminds me of Vegas.

Love this video!

Cool video. Love Chicago architecture ❤

As a Midwesterner born in Chicago, I have seen all of these buildings and many more not on this tour. I have been in some of them. We moved to the south suburbs when I was five. My dad worked at RR Donnelly on Cermack. That is a wonderful building. So is the Art Institute, Prudential building.

Chicago is such a beautiful city
