Adolf Loos 1870-1933) v\ 1 Chicago Tribune Tower Competition 1922 One of the most significant events in the history of modern architecture was the Tribune Tower international competition in 1922 when the Chicago Tribune, the city's oldest and most important newspaper, offered a $50,000 prize for the winning design of "the most beautiful and distinctive office building of the world". More than 263 architects from three continents responded with a broad constellation of designs ranging from Byzantine to Bauhaus. The List of contemporary European architects contains Walter Gropius and Adolf Meyer, Ludwig Karl Hilbersheimer, Bruno Taut, Hans and Wassili Luckhardt and many more. Adolf Loos' entry arrived too late for the jury's review. But his iconic unbuilt design for the Chicago Tribune tower is still one of the most popular images in history of modern architecture. ni1»'»* t' THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE COLUMN Adolf Loos 1922) The competition was won by Raymond Hood and John Mead Howells with their vertiginous take on the Gothic revival.
