Résumé:
Si la formule "la forme suit la fonction" est mondialement connue, son texte d'origine l'est beaucoup moins. Publié en 1896, La tour de bureaux artistiquement considérée s'inscrit pourtant au cœur de l'école de Chicago et de la réception "artistique" de l'académisme et de l’École des Beaux-Arts de Paris. Sullivan a conçu dix ans plus tôt l'Auditorium Building -alors le plus gros bâtiment de l'Ouest américain - vient de contribuer à l'Exposition Colombienne dans la nouvelle "Ville Lumière" que d'aucuns appellent Paris-sur-Prairie et débat par articles interposés avec Dankmar Alder, son ancien employeur et associé (1881-1895), sur l'avenir des "grands" immeubles de bureaux en passe de devenir des icônes de l'architecture moderne et américaine : les "gratte-ciel"...

Résumé:
The story of Louis H. Sullivan is considered one of the great American tragedies. While Sullivan reshaped architectural thought and practice and contributed significantly to the foundations of modern architecture, he suffered a sad and lonely death. Many have since missed his aim: that of bringing buildings to life. What mattered most to Sullivan were not the buildings but the philosophy behind their creation. Once, he unconcernedly stated that if he lived long enough, he would get to see all of his works destroyed. He added: "Only the idea is the important thing." In ''Louis Sullivan's Idea,'' Chicago architectural historian Tim Samuelson and artist/writer Chris Ware present Sullivan's commitment to his discipline of thought as the guiding force behind his work, and this collection of photographs, original documentation, and drawings all date from the period of Sullivan's life, 1856-1924, that many rarely or have never seen before. The book includes a full-size foldout facsimile reproduction of Louis Sullivan's last architectural commission and the only surviving working drawing done in his own hand.

Résumé:
Early in Sullivan's career in the 1890s, when he emerged as a leading skyscraper architect of Chicago, his ornament gave scale and quality to his work.

Résumé:
Early in Sullivan's career in the 1890s, when he emerged as a leading skyscraper architect of Chicago, his ornament gave scale and quality to his work. After 1900, as his career declined, it served to identify his buildings and the humane conception they encapsulated in an increasingly hostile cityscape. The brilliant pencil execution of ornament in his old age became a surrogate for the great architectural projects realized earlier. This extended essay on how Sullivan's ornament shaped the city is illuminated by new colour photographs by Cervin Robinson.
