Even if you want to see one particular style, Chicago often has multiple examples. For example, the subset of modernist architecture known as "brutalism"

I wasn't aware of brutalism, but I recognize many of those buildings!

BuildingMyBento, as others have said, Chicago is home to spectacular architecture, and I'd encourage you to read through the Chicago Architectural Foundation's website. If you're going out to the Baha'i Temple you might want to swing by the Leaning Tower YMCA in Niles. (You can guess, based on the name, why I might suggest it.)
