Marina City

Description

“In our 'cities within cities' we shall turn our streets up into the air, and stack the daytime and nighttime use of our land." —Bertrand Goldberg

Marina City was built in 1967. Its architect Bertrand Goldberg intended it to be an urban experiment for drawing middle-class Chicagoans back to the city after their decades of migration to the suburbs. The building set a precedent as the first among many residential mixed-use developments in the loop.
