Slumming up Marina City


One of Chicago's great architectural icons is underdoing a bit of renovative vandalism as the base of the House of Blues Hotel in Marina City, architect Bertrand Goldberg's pioneering mixed-use development along the Chicago river just north of the Loop, is being smothered in the kind of battleship gray paint usually reserved for back-alley loading docks. Read all about it - and see the photos - here.

They've really screwed that one up. Luckily it's only paint which can be removed in the future.
