Synopsis:

Since the early twentieth century, Chicago has continually fostered young design talent and established itself as a pivotal arts centre. This handsome book, published on the 25th anniversary of the Art Institute's Department of Architecture and Design, features twenty-five young artists from Chicago that showcase the city's depth and breadth of design culture. The featured artists and their firms, including UrbanLab, JNL Graphic Design, and Qua'Virarch, reflect the most promising talent in industrial, furniture, and graphic design, as well as fashion and architecture, and represent the generation that will continue to lead the city in the 21st century. The book includes an essay by Joseph Rosa that traces the evolution of design in Chicago from its origins to today and provides a fascinating and up-to-date look at contemporary architecture and design.
