简介

本书深入讲述了芝加哥最具标志性的建筑——百年历史的箭牌大厦（Wrigley Building）在设计、建造及持久文化意义方面的精彩故事。该书通过严谨的研究与精美的摄影，发掘了一个世纪以来的建筑、商业与社会变迁，首次揭示了这座建筑不为人知的诸多侧面。箭牌大厦代表了这座城市博雅古典主义（Beaux Arts Classicism）的顶峰，是一座矗立在芝加哥最宏伟大道密歇根大道（Michigan Avenue）尽头的闪耀白色宫殿。1921年落成时，它是芝加哥最高的建筑，拥有华丽的赤陶装饰。全书聚焦于口香糖帝国创始人威廉·箭牌二世（William Wrigley Jr.）与鲜为人知的建筑师查尔斯·格哈德·比尔斯曼（Charles Gerhard Beersman，师从建筑师朱莉娅·摩根）之间交织的命运。书中不仅包含令人惊叹的新摄影作品，还汇集了历史照片、手绘渲染图和原始建筑图纸，并通过多种纸张和两幅折页呈现，是建筑爱好者不可错过的典藏之作。

This is the captivating story of the spectacular architecture of the century-old Wrigley Building—its design, construction, and enduring significance as one of Chicago's most emblematic buildings. Through meticulous research and spectacular photography, the book unearths a century's worth of architectural, social, and business history, shedding light on many aspects of the Wrigley Building for the first time. The Wrigley represents the high-water mark of Beaux Arts Classicism in the city, a gleaming white palazzo at the head of Chicago's grandest boulevard, Michigan Avenue. With lavish terra-cotta ornamentation, it was Chicago's tallest building when it opened in 1921. The book focuses on the intertwined stories of William Wrigley Jr., the larger-than-life founder of the chewing gum empire, and Charles Gerhard Beersman, the relatively unknown architect who, mentored by architect Julia Morgan, brought the building to life. With stunning new photography alongside archival images, renderings, and original blueprints and drawings, this volume is a must-have for any architecture enthusiast.
