Architect who invented the high-rise building, but dislikes the neoclassical architecture at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair

@gwestinghouse0 shows that he knows excellent architecture. #1896fair @mrspag

[Tom Andrews @louissullivan0]

Seems like a great day to walk around Chicago and admire the architecture. @mrspag #1893fair #cantwaittocheckitout

[Tom Andrews @louissullivan0]

I feel like the high-rise building is going to be a large aspect of future architecture #1893fair @mrspag #soexcitedthatibecameanarchitect

[Tom Andrews @louissullivan0]

*@jamesferris impressed me with his invention of the Ferris Wheel. Burnham is in the past @mrspag #1893fair #correction #fixingmymistake

[Tom Andrews @louissullivan0]

I did not enjoy the fair at all. @danielburnham really should have incorporated modernized architecture into his designs. @mrspag #1893fair

[Tom Andrews @louissullivan0]

Short discussion with @danielburnham. He really dislikes my ideas about modern architecture. He should be open minded @mrspag #1893fair

[Tom Andrews @louissullivan0]

@danielburnham never responded to my invitation. Just ran into him while walking around the White City @mrspag #1893fair

[Tom Andrews @louissullivan0]

After my meeting with @danielburnham0 I'm going to see @buffalobill0 perform. @mrspag #1893fair

[Tom Andrews @louissullivan0]

Check out the finished product of my design! http://t.co/RrfUrQQI. #successful @mrspag #1893fair

[Tom Andrews @louissullivan0]

Someone nicely decided to make a documentary about my accomplishments http://t.co/zHquYDQA. @mrspag #1893fair

[Tom Andrews @louissullivan0]

Heard the Union Centrale des Arts Decoratifs is thinking about rewarding me with medals for the Transportation Building @mrspag #1893fair

[Tom Andrews @louissullivan0]

Controversy over my modernized Transportation Building is immense. Discussing it later with Burnham over lunch @mrspag #1893fair #debating

[Tom Andrews @louissullivan0]

I'm requesting a lunch meeting with @danielburnham0 to defend my modernized design of the Transportation building. @mrspag #1893fair

[Tom Andrews @louissullivan0]

@GustaveEiffel1 impressed me with his invention of the Ferris Wheel. It helps prove my point that Burnham is in the past @mrspag #1893fair

[Tom Andrews @louissullivan0]

Burnham should realize that modern architecture is more popular than neoclassical. The Transportation Building is amazing. #1893fair @mrspag

[Tom Andrews @louissullivan0]

I was not pleased with the neoclassical architecture of the buildings at the fair. You should modernize your work Burnham. #1893fair @mrspag
