Major Architectural Developments in Illinois, United States of America
Buildings in Chicago
We've selected what we feel are the key examples of Chicago Buildings, USA. Buildings are mostly located in the city centre.
We aim to include Chicago buildings / architectural projects that are either of top quality or interesting, or ideally both. We cover completed Illinois buildings, new building designs and architectural exhibitions in and about the Windy City. We also post architecture competitions across Illinois. The focus is on contemporary Illinois buildings but information on traditional buildings is also welcome.
We have 4 pages of Chicago Architecture selections with links to hundreds of individual project pages.
