Come on down! To sweet home Chicago! Be a knotch on one of our many serial killers bed posts! What's that? Conspiracy theory? You mean that guy who spit on me at CCCorrections, wasn't really in for murderer; subsequently was let out to murder again? Okay sure.
Please more from Maestra Dossey! So clear, precise, informative, educational, and fun! The opposite of so many egghead architects who talk with such an aire of pretense that I cannot possibly pay attention. Dossey is fabulous. More, please.
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.
As someone not from the US, I'd just like to say that NYC and LA hog the limelight. But this really inspires me to explore other cities, too. What lovely architecture and rich history. Thanks for sharing.
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.
What a nice, informative video! Chicago is renowned worldwide for its architecture - the Windy city & Milan (my current city) are twinned, so I'm always interested in videos that deal with Chicago. I hope to visit it soon 🥰
This is an example of RUclips 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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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. The outpost for Bloomingdales Home still occupies the former Masonic Temple, another architectural gem of Chicago's River North.
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
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.
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!
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.
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
Cool to see some actually good looking architecture in America. I wish cities kept up the old pattern of development in newer areas too. This is so beautiful, more districts should get towers like these built there.
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.
Chicago is awesome, I remember being blown away when standing at that lookout section by the DuSable Bridge (looking south over the river). Just a very beautiful city and I hope to visit again soon.
Saw Merchandise Market in person for the first time a couple of weeks ago and WOW it is huge!!! I wish you would have elaborated on it having it's own zip code though, as the thumbnail insinuates.
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.
Thanks a ton Ms. Dossey, was very informative and helpful for people in far off places. This is easy to understand for people with very little knowledge about architecture and you have a very engaging way of talking. And lastly, your face and voice somehow remind me of Susan Sarandon :)
It's so strange and unusual that when I open a random video on RUclips I see a bunch of flags of my country. At the same time it is very pleasant. Thank you very much for your support!
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.
I very much enjoyed this video which touched on a bit of family and personal history. My great great Grandfather (Justice Peter Foote) was a child survivor of the Irish potato famine who after getting a degree from Fordham moved here to join the faculty of St. Mary of the Lake college which at the time had offices just West of the Water Tower. He edited The Monthly, the first Catholic magazine in the Midwest, read for the bar, added law to his career and was the 2nd Professor of Law at Notre Dame. He went on to become a judge in Chicago after the Illinois Constitution was revised in 1865 and practiced until his death. Both my mom and I worked for different employees in the Mart. I was in the Planning Division of the CTA which was in room 700 for a number of years until the CTA moved into its own building at 120 North Racine after the Chicago Flood. I wish some of the interiors of the buildings you described could have been somewhat covered. Perhaps that’s a different series.
The tower of the Wrigley Building was occupies. I worked for an architectural company (Puckey and Jenkins) that occupied the 21st floor (three floors under the clock). That firm was one of the first occupants of the building when it opened.
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.
An endless supply of these Architectural Digest videos is all I need

Followed closely by water, food and shelter
I don't think yall could of found anyone more better for this series than her. I was really interested in all the info through out this tour.
You should check out Tours With Mike. He's a Chicago celebrity!

Yeah, idk why but she has the perfect voice for this
She did a great job! Good at describing the architectural history as well as making it very interesting.
*could have
@@lptomtom the irony is that his name is Dave. Should've changed his name to Dof.
Love her, love Chicago, love this series. Thank you AD.

Wonderful video. Chicago is such a beautiful city with so much to offer. Thanks so much for sharing. I hope you do more of these.

Your feelings don't change the facts. You can't dismiss the facts.
So these crimes are not happening?
It's the best city in the USA. So classy, so Midwestern, so rich in history and culture. Chicago's the best!

Please do
@@daniellinehan63 haha, thanks! I'd love to, unfortunately I'm too busy now to think about travelling
Pleeeease keep on feeding these videos . And she is doing a fabulous job showcasing it..
Thaaaank you.
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.
More Chicago content please. This video is fantastic

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.
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!
Beverly also
I really enjoy her walking tours
LOVE this series! Please do more walking tours (of more cities) AD ;)

Fellow native here. It is amazing the things you were never aware of.
@@ilahildasissac1943 I agree! Chicago is so huge that you could live here your whole life and miss these beautiful little details 🥹
I can see all of these buildings from my apartment in streeterville. So cool to stare at the buildings while learning from her. Great video!
I’m thinking the same thing as I watch from Marina City (which I was hoping would be included)!
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.

They should make a part 2
Please make more of these features with Lynda. Her passion for the history and art of the city makes these videos such a delight.
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
I used to work in the Wrigley Building I always appreciated how beautiful it is.
What a treat, to hear from someone with such extensive knowledge. Lynda did a wonderful job!
Give us all the architectural city tours!! Love them.
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

@@HTtwentyten Ur last phrase is on point, well said.
can you tell your coworkers to stop making ugly buildings?
you're actively being brainwashed (to think the current design is more "honest"), better fight against it
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!

Another one!!! Could listen to her talk for hours - love her!!!
What a wonderful tour. Chicago, though ive never been, seems absolutely astounding. What a magnificent city.
What a wonderfully articulate and well-spoken lady. Great video!
The Graham Anderson photo was beautifully composed. Its soft everywhere but right in the middle of his face. Amazing use of depth of field.
I love this series so much! Please consider including a New Orleans Walking Tour.
This is fantastic. I love hearing expert architects explain these details. Thank you!
These videos somehow reduce my anxiety. Thank you!
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
the design at 2:09 looks remarkably modern by today's standards to have been designed in 1922
It's shockingly modern. Couldn't agree more.
Well it is a modernist architecture
I loved River North. I've never been anywhere else in Chicago. It's clean, neat and has everything. It's classy and lovely.
1minute in and I already fell in love with her voice and the way she talks with so many nice infos.
Yessss more Chicago!!!
Another great River North building is the Woman’s Athletic Club. It’s spectacular inside and out.
The Tribune Tower is simple exquisite.
Excellent, can you please show us the really juicy stuff, like the old, secret places in Chicago!
So excited for this tour, I love Chicago architecture!
Cool to see some actually good looking architecture in America. I wish cities kept up the old pattern of development in newer areas too. This is so beautiful, more districts should get towers like these built there.
Wonderful tour! Thank you. I hope AD considers doing more like this.
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.
I love my city. Such a great history in the buildings.
Excellent overview of a few of the important downtown buildings. I look forward to seeing more of these.
Loving this Chicago series! More please!!
I'm shocked she didn't mention the Merchandise Mart had it's own zip code until about 2008.
LOVE CHICAGO. Dont care what people SAY or WILL SAY!
Chicago is awesome, I remember being blown away when standing at that lookout section by the DuSable Bridge (looking south over the river). Just a very beautiful city and I hope to visit again soon.
I used to live Downtown and drove past this building all the time… absolutely massive!
Saw Merchandise Market in person for the first time a couple of weeks ago and WOW it is huge!!!
I wish you would have elaborated on it having it's own zip code though, as the thumbnail insinuates.
Enjoyed my through the windy city!
Just a note, on the Marble House, the columns are composite order style and not Corinthian.
Very nice video, and a great, fluid and fluent presentation of information.
This "Architect Explores" content should become its own regular thing. So interesting!
Wow I love her. I would watch an entire series with her as a guide
The building right next to the Driehaus Museum is one of my favorite buildings in that area, some really interesting stonework/decoration.
Good job Linda! an thank you to AD for featuring Chicago
i lived in chicago for 14 years, until Covid hit, and I had to relocate back to my hometown in Ohio. I sure do miss its beauty and grandeur.
Chicago, the architectural center of the world!! Architectural designs of skyscrapers originated here!
Yes more chicago please!!!!!
Very informative, thank you very much. Regards from Cyprus.
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.
Quickest 10 mins ever. Amazing
Thank you for sharing my favorite city 🏙 Chicago
The architecture of Chicago is second to none.

I learned so much 🎉happy new year to my favourite channel
2:01, saw that sketch and though, hey that's the Pinnacle tower in Nashville.

Everyday i love my city more and more. but not this cold weather.
Captivating! Lynda had me watching this at regular speed it was that good.
The tower of the Wrigley Building was occupies. I worked for an architectural company (Puckey and Jenkins) that occupied the 21st floor (three floors under the clock).
That firm was one of the first occupants of the building when it opened.
I love to hear about what's inside all of these buildings. Great tour!
Offices
You can tour the Driehaus Museum. It is magnificent inside. I highly recommend this tour
It's so funny -- I'm now a big fan of her commentary and I didn't even know she existed a month ago!
Thanks for the cool release
Very interesting, thank you! Would love to visit Chicago one day.
Excellent and insightful architectural commentary..a well narrated technical footnote
Chicago is such a beautiful city
I miss Chicago terribly
Well, the nice parts at least
Interesting architecture in Chicago 😊
Very interesting💖 Thank you AD💖 Thanks to architect💖👏
