Chicago, located in Illinois in the Midwestern United States, is bordered to the east by Lake Michigan, one of the magnificent Great Lakes of North America. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It is the holy place of modernist designers, the birthplace of American modernism, and the stronghold of modernist design around the world.

The city is full of high-rise buildings, from the architecture to the overall urban planning, which is imbued with the aesthetic principles of modernist architecture.

High-rise, steel frame, horizontal windows, classic and simple façade style...

Modernist masters were born here and put forward their theories and research:

"Form follows functionalism."

"Please, the fetters and shackles of eclecticism."

"Exploring the use of new technologies in tall buildings."

"Advocate the introduction of the façade to conform to the spirit of the industrialization of the times..."

......

The citizens of the city of Chicago were influenced and influenced by it.

This modernist building nourishes Chicagoans and gives them the keenest awareness of modern architecture!

On this day, in the United States, the top modernist firms SOM Architects, MAD Architects, KPF Architects...

In the United States, there are modernist architects, there are masters who have entered the house, there are designers who have just entered the palace, there are up-and-coming designers, and there are many young designers There is news constantly spreading.

Whether it's in an office building or in a studio, information is flowing fast.

A firm:

"China's white dove designers have come to Chicago!"

"Where's the news?"

"On the official website of the American Institute of Architects, President Masson has sent out a message that he invited the designer of Bai Juetong!"

"Hahaha, I had already guessed that the designer would come to Chicago, which is the paradise of our modernist designers."

"Every modernist master will leave a work in Chicago, and the designer must be the head of the future of modernism."

"He's amazing!"

......

Young American Designers:

"It's unbelievable that the best and most brilliant young modernist designers are not from Chicago."

"Will the designer leave his work this time?"

"It's so exciting!"

"I'm so obsessed with his work, whether it's the Louvre Pyramid, the Sydney Opera House or even the Church of Light, I am so excited."

"We, Chicago, and the United States are the places where the designers of the White Dove can display their talents unscrupulously!"

......

Since last year, she has been a regular in American Modernist magazines, newspapers and cutting-edge news pages.

Although she has never been to Chicago or the United States, she has countless fans and followers in this city.

"Chicago welcomes designers from the White Dove tree!"

The homepage of the official website of American Modernism has been updated with a message of large characters.

In the city of Chicago, two open-top Maserati sports cars, one red and one black, roam the streets.

Rhythmic music emanates from the car stereo.

The sports car stopped in front of one building after another, and kept running.

"The designer of Bai Juetong, this is the first Wright Building, is the first generation of modernist designers, one of the original promoters of engineer Gianni design."

"Designer Bai Tingtong, this is the 'Home Insurance Company' office building completed by Designer Jenny, and it marks the real beginning of the Chicago School, which is the first frame structure designed in steel!"

"The designer of Bai Juetong, this is the CPS department store building in Chicago, which was made by Mr. Sullivan, a strong pillar master of the Chicago School."

"Designer Bai Jue, this is the Chicago Auditorium Building..."

The focus of discussion among modernist designers in Chicago and even in the United States, Bai Jingtong was at this time for Adrian. Smith led a tour of downtown Chicago.

Landmark buildings are in view.

There seems to be a passion spreading in the city, and this city is the first city to bear some resemblance to Bai Juetong's memory.

It was early afternoon, and it was getting closer to evening.

The two cars were parked at the confluence of the Chicago River and Lake Michigan, making it a great place to relax and enjoy the scenery.

Shira, Banxia, Qianhe, Sumu, and Masayuki Kurokawa were guided to a plaza by Adrian Smith.

"At the end of the nineteenth century, we had a fire in Chicago that was unprecedented in history."

Adrian. "That fire destroyed almost a third of the city's buildings," Smith explains. ”

"In order to build a large number of new houses in the shortest possible time, among the materials and construction methods available at the time, our architects in Chicago chose a new architectural style: high-rise, iron or steel frame, box structure."

"The box frame made of iron is enough to bear the weight, and the façade no longer needs to be load-bearing..."

Adrian pondered, paused, and continued:

"It was a new construction of the whole city, and the fire made us try to build steel buildings first, and then led to the birth and development of modern architecture."

"We named the school of architecture that was brought about by the fire the Chicago School, and later changed the name to American Modernism."

When they came to the square, they stood here and looked out over the lake, where they could see two breakwaters stretching far into the lake, forming a harbor, and two lighthouses echoing each other to guide the ships entering and leaving the port.

A stone embankment lies in the middle of the harbor, dividing the harbor into two areas, the inner and outer areas, and the stone embankment is full of seagulls, becoming a small bird island.

On the north side of the square is a naval pier with many luxury yachts and even a fireboat.

The square is very lively, there are old people, children, young couples, middle-aged couples...

Some people stroll, some people look into the distance, some people enjoy the evening time with the lake breeze...

There are also young artists who support Maza in sketching, painting...

Looking across the lake, you can see the skyline of Chicago, with buildings lined up one after another, outlining a majestic skyline in the sky, and the pointed roofs of several high-rise buildings also shoot the flickering light of searchlights, as if giants are blinking their eyes.

Everyone scattered, each looking for their own hearts to perceive this beauty.

Looking at the notes of the music composed of high-rise buildings on the other side of the lake, she pondered:

"In another world, the fire of the late nineteenth century also emerged and contributed to the Chicago School, a very important school of modernist architecture."

"The difference is also that at that time, the four flag-bearer masters of the world were not born, and the Arts and Crafts Movement, which should have emerged and developed in England and Europe at the same time, and the Art Nouveau movement after that, only emerged and was eliminated."

"Is it a classical genre or a butterfly effect?"

"It is very interesting that the Chicago School in that world, although it was amazingly influential, was short-lived, and was considered by the Americans at the time to lack historical tradition, lack of culture, lack of depth, no weight, and no elegance."

"It was thought that it was only a stopgap measure to solve an urgent need in a special place and time, and it dissipated in just over a decade."

"But the Chicago School in this world has become more and more prosperous, and has even become the source of modernism..."

Bai Hengtong shook his head and didn't think about the change, he smiled lightly, staring intently at the rows of high-rise buildings on the other side of the lake, his eyes flashing with crystal.

He seems to be talking to himself:

"This skyline isn't wonderful enough!"
