Concrete Chicago Map

March 22, 2018

Last summer, I had the incredible pleasure of photographing the Concrete New York Map for Blue Crow Media, which was released in October and maps out 50 examples of architecture throughout NYC with an emphasis on concrete.  This winter, I’ve photographed three more maps, the first of which is available now.

The Concrete Chicago Map is especially near and dear to my heart, featuring 50 examples of concrete architecture throughout Chicagoland.  Everything from well-known structures by Bertrand Goldberg and Walter Netsch to off-the-beaten-path gems are all covered here.  Below are a few of my personal favorite images made for the map.
