Tall: The American Skyscraper & Louis Sullivan // Curious Minds Further Viewing
Get to know the “Father of the Skyscraper” in this companion film to Natalie Ribkoff’s Curious Minds // Chicago Architecture series. At the turn of the 19th century, visionary architect Louis Sullivan created rhapsodies in steel, iron and brick. His early high-rise buildings, which included the Sullivan Center and the Wainwright Building, were both awe-inspiring and functional. In Tall, director Manfred Kirchheimer crafts a lively account of Sullivan, his rival Daniel Burnham and the other architects who gave rise to the modern skyscraper: a technological and aesthetic wonder that would change city life and our world’s skylines forever.
