Description

This meticulous reprint of the Plan of Chicago reproduces all 142 plates from the original, 48 of which are in color. It also accommodates a color plate of the City Hall that was once omitted from the 1909 edition. A new introduction by Kristen Schaffer details those parts of Burnham’s draft that were excluded from the published book. The most visible document of the City Beautiful movement, this reprint still holds valuable lessons for these days’s architects and planners.

Princeton Architectural Press’s Reprint Series was once established in 1981 to make rare volumes on architecture to be had to a much broader audience. The books’ beautiful reproductions and finest quality printing and binding match those of the originals, even as their 9-by-12-inch format makes them accessible and inexpensive. New introductions bring a up to date voice to these classic texts, updating them to develop into invaluable latest resources. These critically acclaimed books are an essential addition to any library.
