	Louis Sullivan at The Art Institute of Chicago
		Among Sullivan's contributions to the development of modern American architecture was the new aesthetic for the visual organization of tall buildings: a strong base at grade level, top floors capped with an eye-arresting cornice, and the general office floors in the central shaft repeatable ad infinitum.
		Sullivan was one of the most prolific architect/critics of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and numerous draft manuscripts and typescripts of his writings are held in this collection.
		The Chicago History Museum is leading a citywide celebration of Louis Sullivan beginning on the 150th anniversary of his birth, September 3, 2006, and culminating with an international symposium at the Museum on October 13, 14, and 15, 2006.

	ArchitectureWeek - Culture - Louis Sullivan's Bradley House - 2000.0927
		Sullivan lifted the second story of his house onto piers holding it over the enfilade of the first floor and its high brick basement.
		Examination of Sullivan's two sheets reveals that the centers of the principal rooms are fixed by two concentric squares erected around the intersection of the major and minor axes and whose lines are picked up in the semicircular formal garden borders Sullivan indicates in front of the house.
		In Sullivan's house designs this active/passive balance of the circulations and the functional mass is what had already in 1891 created the most riveting external mark of the Charnley House, the balcony with its heavy Doric columns illogically founded on a bracketed overhang.

		The maximum height for downtown buildings in St. Louis was about eight stories until 1890, when a wave of tall building construction began, made possible by widespread use of elevators and development of steel construction.
		The new owners approached one St. Louis architectural firm, which “refused the job because of [their] high regard for the original design.” Another firm, Eames and Young, was retained for the remodeling, which – in effect – involved sticking a square story addition on top in place of the sloped roof.
		Louis Sullivan was the main architect on many historical building projects, four of them in St. Louis - the Wainwright, the St. Nicholas Hotel, the Union Trust Building and the Wainwright tomb.

	Unified Vision > The Collection > Louis H. Sullivan
		The style now known as the Prairie School originated with the Boston-born architect Louis Sullivan, who conceived the idea of an authentic American architecture suited to the needs of people living in the modern age.
		Sullivan thought that a building should reflect the place and time in which it was built-not some long-gone historical period-and be sympathetic to its site and natural surroundings.
		Sullivan inspired a younger generation of architects to apply his organic principles to all types of buildings, with an emphasis on residential architecture.

		Sullivan's interior decoration is exceedingly interesting, of a feathery vegetable character, derived perhaps partly from the Renaissance in an arts and crafts spirit but at the same time pointing forward to the license of art nouveau.
		However, Sullivan, through pleading in his "Kindergarten Chats" (1901) for a temporary embargo on all decoration, was himself as fascinated by ornament as by functional expression, and this appears even in the entrance motifs of his major building, the Carson, Pirie, Scott store (1899-1904), which is the most characteristic of the Chicago School.
		Sullivan died in obscurity and poverty in a hotel room in Chicago in 1924.

	Louis Sullivan after functionalism by Michael J. Lewis (Site not responding. Last check: )
		He showed that Sullivan’s architecture and ornament were reciprocal aspects of the same creative impulse—the ornament no less integral to the idea of the building than the foundations that sustained it.
		Sullivan had little respect for his ambitious father (“a lackey, a flunkey, a social parasite”), although he gives little indication why this should be so.
		Sullivan’s further claim that “Where function does not change form does not change” was a hard saying, for it contradicted the evidence of his buildings.
