Founded in Chicago in 1895, the Caxton Club is a society of booklovers committed to promoting and supporting the art of the book. Chicago by the Book profiles 101 landmark publications about Chicago that have helped define the city and its image. While these books mainly document the history of the city, several also served as agents of change. Architecture Ongoing The architecture of Crystal Bridges is as stunning and inspirational as the artwork housed inside it. Crystal Bridges was designed by internationally renowned architect Moshe Safdie, who envisioned a building that would complement the surrounding Ozark landscape. In 2013, Crystal Bridges acquired a classic "Usonian" house designed by celebrated American architect Frank Lloyd Wright and constructed in 1954. Architect Marlon Blackwell designed the Museum Store at Crystal Bridges to be an organic complement to the museum's natural setting and distinctive architecture. The 50-foot diameter Fly's Eye Dome, designed by American architect and inventor Buckminster Fuller, has been installed on the museum's north lawn. This is one of only three prototypes fabricated in Fuller's lifetime, and has spent nearly three decades in storage.
