芝加哥是拥有建筑师最多的一个城市。近现代建筑界的不少新潮,大都与芝加哥有关。上世纪末至本世纪初由沙利文领导的“芝加哥学派”,在现代建筑运动的前期有过杰出的贡献。国际建筑界公认的四位现代建筑大师:美国的赖特;德国的密斯和格罗庇乌斯;法国的柯布西埃,都曾在芝加哥从事过创作和研究。赖特早期创作的罗比住宅,已被美国政府列为国家级文物。建筑师们都以能到芝加哥参观为最大的精神享受。 Chicago is the city with the most architects. Many new trends in modern and contemporary architecture are related to Chicago. The “Chicago school” led by Sullivan from the end of the last century to the beginning of this century has made outstanding contributions in the early stage of the modern architectural movement. Four modern architects recognized by the international architecture community: Wright of the United States; Mies and Gropius of Germany; and Corbusier of France, all of whom have worked in creation and research in Chicago. Wright’s early creation of Robbie House has been listed as a national heritage by the United States government. The architects enjoyed the greatest spiritual visit to Chicago.
