The Book Building and Book Cadillac Hotel, the Fisher Building, The Penobscot Building, the Guardian Building, and the One Detroit Center are truly places where Italian Renaissance-style, Art Deco style, and post-modern Neo is where Gothic style can be appreciated!

10. Chicago, Illinois

Chicago is another perfect city for all architecture lovers since it has a great history of architectural experimentation. Because of this, we can say that this city created two styles: the ‘Chicago School’ and ‘Second Chicago School’ style. The first one is related to the commercial skyscrapers built-in 1880-1890s, using steel-framed construction as people had seen before. The second go around 60 to 80 years forward, using the tube-structure and its new structural systems. So, what should you visit in Chicago? The S.R. Crown Hall at the Illinois Institute of Technology, the LakeShore Apartments, the Brutalist Marina city, the Tribune Tower, where you can see fragments of other famous buildings such as the Taj Mahal or the Great Wall of China.
