ORD: Documenting the Definitive Modern Airport presents a selection of architectural photographs that portray O’Hare. Hedrich Blessing’s iconic black and white images capture the Miesian-influenced modernism of Chicago’s largest public works project. Robert Burley’s color photographs show O’Hare’s operational airfield as a complex managed landscape. The work of both photographers illustrates the design legacy at O’Hare International Airport.
