Maybe best known as the cover of Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, the Marina City towers are my favorite buildings in Chicago.
The classic cases introduced in architecture textbooks are representative works of Chicago architecture, but the scene looks more confusing than in the book, just like an unfinished building, the structure is too protruding to see the curtain wall.

A very strange building. From a distance, I thought it was an unfinished building, because there are many floors below it with parking lots. It looks messy, but it is actually a completed building.
Marina City is a long-standing landscape pavilion. The blocks here are relatively wide. Try to go out as little as possible at night. There are many black communities. Chicago doesn't need a lot of time to play, and it's all a walk-and-see project.
