Johannesburg Style - Clive M. ChipkinJohannesburg Style: Architecture & Society 1880s – 1960s by Clive Chipkin argues that as we come to talk about distinctive styles of urban architecture in Europe and North America – such as Chicago Style – so too has Johannesburg evolved a recognisable style or procession of styles that are as interesting and deserving of serious consideration as those of other major cities of the world. Like Chicago, too, Johannesburg was a progeny of nineteenth-century industrial society, and its history is the story of its development as an industrial metropolis tied to the world market. |
