Editing Architecture of Chicago (section)

==Residential architecture==
[[Frank Lloyd Wright]]'s [[Prairie School]] influenced both building design and the design of furnishings.  In the early half of the 20th century, popular residential neighborhoods were developed with [[Bungalow#Chicago bungalow|Chicago Bungalow]] style houses, many of which still exist. The two-flat apartment building, along with the larger three- and six-flat buildings, make up 30% of Chicago's housing stock.<ref>Chicago Architecture Center</ref> A two-flat includes two apartments, each of which occupies a full floor, usually with a large bay window and with a grey stone or red brick facade. The apartments typically have the same layout with a large living and dining room area at the front, the kitchen at the back and the bedrooms running down one side of the unit.

[[Ludwig Mies van der Rohe]]'s [[Illinois Institute of Technology]]{{sfnp|Bach|1980|pp=182-183}} campus in Chicago influenced the later [[International style (architecture)|Modern or International style]]. Van der Rohe's work is sometimes called the Second Chicago School.
