The School of Chicago, recognizes a set of works that were made as research in the field of social sciences, made by professors and students of the University of Chicago, between 1915 and 1940. It is characterized as the first architectural work in use certain types of materials and implement new techniques for the construction of large buildings. The most curious thing about this work is that it emerges at a time when prosperity reigns in terms of demographic level.
In the year 1871, it is the victim of a severe fire that the city suffers, where it is necessary to raise it again, bringing with it a different concept to the architecture of the time: the skyscraper.

The new construction was in vertical form, that is to say to take advantage of a plant of few dimensions and to build one level on the other, they began with buildings that went between the 10 and the 16 floors of height. With the buildings in the form of height, come also the electric elevators. In a way, the Chicago School is made up of a group of architects, who are looking for ways to find solutions to problems architecturally speaking.
The school of Chicago is an urban sociology, where a series of studies are developed, where they are linked to problems confronted by the city of Chicago, in a time of crime and other serious difficulties. This interest in investigating the urban social sphere from participant observation of the researcher, brings as a significant influence on the progress of some original methods of research in contemporary sociology.
The Chicago School is responsible for the use of procedures for scientific, economic and social purposes.
