I’ll be moderating and co-hosting a lecture and discussion by Chicago architect Geoff Goldberg about the history of the city’s iconic twin towers–Marina City–on Tuesday, June 13, from 5-6 Central Time. It’s the first in a series of events put on by the Museum as part of a new exhibition that will open this fall on the history of the concrete skyscraper. “In Situ” will look at iconic towers that relied on concrete for their structure, building an alternate narrative to more traditional histories of steel construction. Marina City, needless to say, is a key player, and Geoff will talk about how its technical innovations took place within a rich mix of social, cultural, political, and financial concerns.
