Following the fallow years of World War II, residential architecture in Chicago began to reappear as early as the late 1940s, mostly in the form of apartment towers, while the resumption of commercial building waited until roughly a decade later.
The origins of the movement are traceable to two powerfully interactive factors: the advent of modernist architecture as a whole in America and the arrival in Chicago of a single, highly influential figure, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.
One of the major pioneers in the development of modernism in Europe, Mies emigrated from his native Germany in 1937 to assume the headship of the School of Architecture at Chicago's Armour Institute of Technology (later Illinois Institute of Technology [IIT]).
His initial work was devoted to the Early Renaissance in Rome and elsewhere in Italy where the theory and practice of architecture intersected with the consolidation of political authority and theological reform in the Church.
Subsequently, he concentrated on the relationship between the history, theory, and practice of architecture with increasing attention to the role of tradition in shaping the practice of the present to serve the future.
His current interests are concentrated on tradition and classicism in architecture and the American city and on the architect’s capacity to nourish the Christian faith.
