These new titles in Princeton Architectural Press's popular "Building Blocks series highlight two more icons of modern architecture, as portrayed by renowned architectural photographer Ezra Stoller. The John Hancock Center in Chicago (1966-70) was designed by Bruce Graham and engineered by Fazlur Kahn of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill; this cross-braced tower is a landmark on the Chicago skyline.

A brief introduction and newly drawn plans and elevations make these books essential photographic histories of important works of modernism.
