Chicago's Lake Point Tower is one of the world's most famouse skyscrapers. While still under construction, it was recognized as an aesthetic and structural tour de force. Lake Point Tower: A Design History, published on the occasion of the building's fortieth anniversary, recounts the planning, design and construction of this modern masterwork.
Illustrated with photographs by Hedrich-Blessing Photographers and the late Richard Nickel, Lake Point Tower: A Design History also includes new photographs and numerous explanatory drawings made especially for this, the first book-length study of its subject.
