Winner of the GOLD Independent Publisher Book Award for Architecture.
The Space Within is the first book to bring together the interiors of Chicago’s greatest buildings, featuring them in more than 360 stunning original photographs.
Chicago is a mecca for architects and lovers of architecture worldwide, and The Space Within showcases why. These Chicago-area homes, religious spaces, and commercial and public structures give visual meaning to Frank Lloyd Wright’s belief that “the space within becomes the reality of the building.”
Travel from famous residences, such as Wright’s Robie House and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s Farnsworth House, to dizzyingly majestic commercial buildings. The ornate warmth of Adler & Sullivan’s Auditorium provides striking contrast to the modern, towering underground stacks of Helmut Jahn’s Mansueto Library. The Bahá’í Temple by Louis Bourgeois soars alongside Edward Dart’s humble chapel in St. Procopius Abbey Church.
Patrick F. Cannon, who has lived and worked in Chicago for more than sixty years, discusses each building’s architecture, architect, and place in history. James Caulfield, a noted architectural photographer, leads a visual tour into both the intimate and grand interiors of the area’s finest buildings.
