The Marina City towers, designed and built between 1959 and 1967, are two of the most recognisable structures in Chicago – America’s ‘windy city’. Architect Bertrand Goldberg’s distinctive-looking high-rises, part of a larger Marina City complex, are icons of modern architecture. This year, the Chicago City Council recognised the historical significance of Marina City by designating it a Chicago landmark.

Architect Iker Gil, who recently bought an apartment in one of the towers, and Swedish photographer Andreas EG Larsson, who lives in Los Angeles, began documenting the towers and their residents in 2008. Three years later, the photographs were displayed in the exhibition, Inside Marina City, at the Chicago Art Institute. Larsson’s images showed how residents live in the mixed-use complex.

City in the city, two towers, which should be their own little universe. Wonderfully situated on the water, hard to miss. Various boat tours start nearby.
