"Burnham y Root fue el nombre de la empresa formada por John Wellborn Root y Daniel Hudson Burnham, siendo la m\u00E1s famosa del siglo XIX en Chicago. Durante sus dieciocho a\u00F1os de colaboraci\u00F3n, Burnham y Root dise\u00F1aron y construyeron edificios residenciales y comerciales. Su \u00E9xito alcanz\u00F3 su cima con la coordinaci\u00F3n de la World's Columbian Exposition en 1891. Ambos se conocieron trabajando como aprendices en las oficinas de en 1872. Un a\u00F1o m\u00E1s tarde establecieron su propia oficina de arquitectura y comenzaron a trabajar en la construcci\u00F3n de residencias privadas para la \u00E9lite adinerada de la industria c\u00E1rnica de Chicago. Ambos estaban casados dentro de familias acomodadas, lo que les permiti\u00F3 establecer una base para sus negocios. Mientras que Burnham fue el dise\u00F1ador pragm\u00E1tico e impresionante vendedor, Root se convirti\u00F3 en el genio creativo de la empresa. Louis Sullivan, llam\u00F3 a Burnham \"un colosal mercader\" obsesionado por construir las mayores y m\u00E1s costosas estructuras de la ciudad. Los edificios m\u00E1s importantes dise\u00F1ados por Burnham y Root se construyeron a finales de los a\u00F1os 1880 y principios de 1890, dise\u00F1os que allanaron el camino para los rascacielos de hoy en d\u00EDa. Hasta entonces, los edificios se basaban en la mamposter\u00EDa exterior como soporte, lo que limitaba su altura a 12 plantas. La invenci\u00F3n de vigas de acero de apoyo le dio la posibilidad de construir m\u00E1s alto y a\u00F1adir m\u00E1s ventanas. El edificio Rand McNally, terminado en 1890, fue el primer rascacielos con armaz\u00F3n de acero en el mundo.\u200B Otra caracter\u00EDstica de sus dise\u00F1os que revolucion\u00F3 la arquitectura moderna fue su invenci\u00F3n del bloque de oficinas tal y como lo conocemos hoy. Burnham y Root tuvieron la posibilidad de experimentar y perfeccionar su estilo creando una est\u00E9tica totalmente nueva que estaba libre de influencias hist\u00F3ricas o europeas. Edificios como el Great Northern hotel (1892), el Argyle y el Pickwick demostraron el singular estilo de Root. En 1890, cuando Chicago fue seleccionada para la Exposici\u00F3n Mundial Colombina, celebrando el 400 aniversario del descubrimiento de los Estados Unidos, Root tuvo la importante tarea de coordinar el evento.\u200B Despu\u00E9s de decidir sobre la ubicaci\u00F3n de la Feria y hacer los planes preliminares del sitio, decidi\u00F3 que \"ning\u00FAn arquitecto debe dise\u00F1ar estos edificios, pero si varios de los mejores arquitectos de los Estados Unidos, trabajando juntos como una comisi\u00F3n.\"\u200B Por lo tanto, los m\u00E1s grandes arquitectos de la \u00E9poca fueron invitados a participar en el dise\u00F1o de la Exposici\u00F3n. Root muri\u00F3 en 1891, dejando incompleto su proyecto m\u00E1s ambicioso. Su compa\u00F1ero, Daniel Burnham, a pesar de tener solo experiencia pr\u00E1ctica y poca capacitaci\u00F3n formal en el \u00E1mbito de la arquitectura, tuvo la responsabilidad de terminar la coordinaci\u00F3n de la feria. Desde que la exposici\u00F3n abri\u00F3 las puertas en junio de 1893 hasta su finalizaci\u00F3n seis meses despu\u00E9s, fue un completo \u00E9xito. Despu\u00E9s del \u00E9xito obtenido y tras la p\u00E9rdida de su socio, Burnham sigui\u00F3 operando la empresa de Burnham y Root bajo el nombre de D. H. Burnham y Co. Los proyectos iniciados por Root se completaron, entre ellos el edificio del Capitolio en 1892, que fue durante un breve per\u00EDodo de tiempo, el edificio m\u00E1s alto del mundo con sus 22 plantas. \u200B Es entonces cuando su talento arquitect\u00F3nico se convirti\u00F3 en la fuerza motriz de la empresa, dise\u00F1ando edificios emblem\u00E1ticos como el Flatiorn en la ciudad de Nueva York. \u200B Burnham no pudo mantener el progreso logrado por Root en la arquitectura, pero demostr\u00F3 una gran versatilidad en su estilo. Burnham muri\u00F3 en un accidente de coche en 1912, mientras estaba de vacaciones en Alemania.\u200B"@es .

"Burnham and Root was one of Chicago's most famous architectural companies of the nineteenth century. It was established by Daniel Hudson Burnham and John Wellborn Root.

Their success was crowned with the coordination of the World's Columbian Exposition (World's Fair) in 1893. The two men met when they worked as apprentice draftsmen in the offices of in 1872. A year later they established their own architecture office and began work by building private residences for the wealthy elite of Chicago's meat industry. Both of them married into wealthy families which allowed them to establish a basis for their business. \"Daniel Hudson Burnham was one of the handsomest men I ever saw,\" said Paul Starrett who joined Burnham and Root in 1888 (later he designed the Empire State Building). \"It was easy to see how he got commissions. His very bearing and looks were half the battle\". While Burnham was the pragmatic designer and impressive salesperson, Root became the creative genius of the company. When Burnham and Root were together, one woman said \"I used always to think of some big strong tree with lightning playing around it\". Louis Sullivan, the famous architect, called Burnham \"a colossal merchandiser\" obsessed with building the biggest and costliest structures of the city. The most significant buildings designed by Burnham and Root were built in the late 1880s and early 1890s. That is when Root's designs actually paved the way for modern day skyscrapers. Until then, buildings relied on exterior masonry for support, limiting their height to 12 stories. The invention of steel support beams gave him the possibility to build higher and to add more windows. The Rand McNally Building, completed in 1890, was the first ever steel-framed skyscraper in the world. Another characteristic of his designs that revolutionized modern architecture is his invention of the urban office block floor plan as we know it. As commissions multiplied, Burnham and Root had the opportunity to experiment and refine their style to create an entirely new aesthetic that was free of historical or European influences. Such buildings as the Great Northern hotel (1892), the Argyle and the Pickwick demonstrate Root's singular style. In 1890 Chicago won the competition to host the (1892) World\u2019s Columbian Exposition, celebrating the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus\u2019 discovery of America. John Root was given the important task of coordinating the event. After deciding on the location of the Fair and doing the preliminary plans of the site, he decided that \"No one architect should design these buildings, but a number of the best architects in the United States, all working together as one commission.\" Hence, the greatest architects of the time were invited to participate in the design of the World's Columbian Exposition. Root died in 1891, leaving his greatest project incomplete. Daniel Burnham, despite only having practical experience and no formal training in the field of architecture, was then given the responsibility to finish coordinating the fair. When it opened for six months, from June to November 1893, it was a complete success. The Exposition was home to many innovations, among which the first Ferris wheel, which was the result of a challenge set out by Burnham to design \"a structure of comparable ingenuity and novelty.\" Following his success and the loss of his business partner, Burnham continued to operate under the name D. H. Burnham and Co. The projects begun by Root were completed, including the Masonic Temple in 1892, which was for a short period the tallest building in the world at 22 stories. It is then that Burnham's architectural talent became the driving force of the business, resulting in such iconic buildings such as the Flatiron Building in New York City. Burnham was unable to maintain the architectural progress made by Root, but he demonstrated great versatility in his style. Burnham died in 1912 while vacationing in Germany."@en . . . . . . . .
