The city's architectural adventures began post-Chicago Fire of 1871, which led to innovative constructions. Famous for its bold structures and the development of the skyscraper, Chicago became the birthplace of modern American architecture, led by figures such as Louis Sullivan and later the influential Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Today, its skyline is a timeline of architectural style evolution, showcasing works from Neo-Gothic to Postmodern and beyond.
