Bertrand Goldberg left his thumbprint all over the city of Chicago, but the architect also lived one of the greatest lives of the 20th century. He moved to Berlin to study at the Bauhuas, narrowly escaped before the Nazi takeover, and was present at the historically significant moment when two giants of architecture, Frank Lloyd Wright and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, met in the late 1930s.
Goldberg is also the mind behind one of the most recognizable pieces of American architecture of the last fifty years, Marina City in Chicago. The building crept back into the popular consciousness in 2002, when the band Wilco featured Marina City on their critically lauded album, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.
The A.V. Club recently did this fantastic feature on the building.
You really make it appear really easy together with your presentation however I to find this topic to be actually one thing that I feel I would by no means understand. It seems too complex and extremely extensive for me. I’m taking a look ahead on your next put up, I will attempt to get the hold of it!
