Chicago is the birthplace of the skyscraper and home to the world's finest school of Architecture boat tours. After the Great Fire of 1871, the city rebuilt itself as a laboratory for structural innovation, producing the steel-frame skyscraper with Louis Sullivan and Daniel Burnham, and later the Mies van der Rohe glass tower. The Chicago Architecture Biennial is now the largest architectural event in North America.
