Twin Towers Remembered

Lost Chicago
Source: Amazon
Author: David Garrard Lowe
City: Chicago, State: IL
- From an Amazon reader: "First issued in 1975, this book captures the magnitude and the magnificence of Chicago's architectural legacy that has been destroyed (by nature and man). Today Chicago is widely regarded as an architectural jewel (and it is, I live there!) but after reading this book you won't be able to stop imagining how much more amazing the city might be if the Urban Renewal movement of the 1960s and early 1970s had never happened. If you are interested in architechture, Chicago history or urban design and planning, read this book!" (2000)
