The Chicago Architects Oral History Project

Um verdadeiro tesouro este Oral History Project: entrevistas a arquitectos que intervieram directamente na cidade de Chicago, editadas e compiladas pelo The Art Institute of Chicago:

For more than twenty years, the Chicago Architects Oral History Project documented the contributions of architects to Chicago during the 20th century. The CAOHP was begun in 1983 under the auspices of the Art Institute's Department of Architecture to record the life experiences of architects who shaped the physical environment in Chicago and surrounding communities. It was intended not only to fill an existing void in the literature but to go beyond the facts to explore motivations and influences, behind-the-scenes stories, and personal reflections. This collection of oral histories contains comprehensive life-review documents as well as shorter, focused interviews. These narratives explore the development of Chicago's architecture and planning from the early 1900s to the present day.

E se esta explicação não chegar para chamar a nossa atenção, refiram-se os nomes de Gordon Bunshaft, de Tadao Ando ou de Paul Rudoph entre os entrevistados. Para ler com tempo.
