Daniel Burnham a noted Chicago architect was chosen to serve as the project’s director. At his disposal were 686 acres of land along the city’s southern lakefront a vast swathe of land which he developed with the help of famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. A team of architects from Chicago New York Boston and Kansas City was gathered to produce the Fair’s individual buildings. Their individual efforts were united by a stylistic mandate: rather than the metal-and-glass pavilions that had characterized World’s Fairs since the Crystal Palace this new exhibition would take on the appearance of a real and permanent “dream city” realized in the Beaux-Arts style.[45
