Modernist Buildings in Chicago.

         Last week, we went on a tour of Chicago's modernist buildings. All of us have good presentations on those building. We had a wonderful journey!

        At first, we learn about the Marina City. It was designed by the famous architect Bertrand Goldberg and completed in 1964. The complex consists of two 65-story towers, each shaped like a corn cob, with unique round balconies. It was intended to be a self-contained community, with apartments, offices, shops, restaurants, a theater, and a marina.  Marina City was a pioneering example of mixed-use urban planning and remains an iconic symbol of Chicago's architectural history. It has been featured in numerous films, TV shows, and music videos, and is considered a must-see destination for architecture enthusiasts visiting Chicago.

        And then, we learn about the Richard J. Daley from fenny and Iris. Richard J. Daley Center is a prominent civic landmark located in downtown Chicago, USA. It was named after Richard J. Daley, the longest-serving mayor of Chicago, who oversaw its construction and opening in 1965. The building houses a variety of public institutions, including the Cook County Circuit Court, the Cook County State's Attorney's Office, and various other government offices. It is also home to a famous public art installation, the "Picasso sculpture," which was donated to the city by the artist Pablo Picasso in 1967. The Daley Center is known for its distinctive modernist architecture, featuring a massive plaza and 30-story glass-and-steel tower. It remains a hub of civic activity in Chicago, hosting events ranging from farmers' markets to political rallies to art exhibitions.
