Abstract
In his Sticks and Stones published in 1924 and The Brown Decades in 1931, Lewis Mumford re-evaluated the Chicago school of architecture and also placed it at the beginning of modern architecture. In 1933, “Early Modern Architecture: Chicago 1870-1910” exhibition at MoMA added a formalist overview to the re-evaluation of the school. Furthermore, in his Space, Time and Architecture, “written in stimulating association with young Americans” and first published in the United States in 1941, Sigfried Giedion re-evaluated and reinforced an almost similar perspective. On the contrary, Colin Rowe made a criticism of Chicago frame or of Chicago Construction in his 1956 article “Chicago frame.” Rowe`s critique, however, was made from the same formalist view in a broader sense.
