	Bertand Goldberg - ArchiTech Gallery, Chicago
		After Bertrand Goldberg left his native Chicago in 1932 to study architecture at the Bauhaus, his every inclination was to design within the language of Mies van der Rohe.
		At the same time, Goldberg considered it a mistake for New York's new Museum of Modern Art to anoint Bauhaus design concepts as the "International Style." By seeing modernism as interpreted by the European minimalists only as a "style," was to miss their point entirely.
		Goldberg felt that the purpose of a city was for interpersonal interaction.

	Bertrand Goldberg - Great Buildings Online
		Bertrand Goldberg was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1913.
		The acting principal of Bertrand Goldberg Associates in Chicago since 1937, Goldberg established a branch office in Boston in 1964.
		Although Goldberg's early work was a direct outgrowth of his training at the Bauhaus and his work with Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, he eventually rebelled against what he calls "the engineer's module applied to society." He considers rectilinear shapes directly opposed to most human activity and instead advocates nuclear forms.

		It was Goldberg's modernist desire to regularize the required components of a steel frame building that led to the simplicity and structural economy of the circular form.
		Goldberg was elected to the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects in 1966, and was awarded the Officier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres from the French government in 1985.

	[No title]
		Though Goldberg studied at the Bauhaus, he repudiated Miesian doctrine, answering rectangularity with roundness.
		Goldberg's iconic work is the Marina City Towers (1967), in which pie-shaped apartments with fabulous views of the city are laid out around a core that acts as a kind of central nervous system.
		More of a communitarian than Mies, Goldberg designed Marina City not just as a pair of buildings, but as a residential neighborhood that he hoped would persuade people to live near the Loop.

	Modular by the Sea - 4/1/2005 - Interior Design
		Modernist architect Bertrand Goldberg is perhaps best known for his $36 million living center, Marina City, which he built along the Chicago River in 1959.
		Some 10 years earlier, he was spending time near another body of water, the West Neck Harbor in Shelter Island, New York, constructing a modular beach house, which is now the vacation property of an artist and her young son.
		Recalling the original structure designed in 1949 by Bertrand Goldberg, the new house's broadly cantilevered overhangs exhibit a classic modernist vernacular.

		I agree that, under our decision in Bechtel Power Corp., Goldberg was required to comply with the construction safety standards under the circumstances of this case.
		I also agree that Goldberg's argument that it is exempt [*14] from the Act because it is an "extension of the state" of New York should be rejected.
		For example, with the exception of the project coordinator, Goldberg was to assign personnel to the project without prior consultation with the State, and Goldberg certified that the [*15] personnel thus assigned were qualified for the tasks they were to perform.

		"This is a building true to Chicago's history of innovation," said Geoff Goldberg, son of the late Bertrand Goldberg, Marina City's architect.
		The elder Goldberg, who studied under Ludwig Mies van der Rohe at the famed Bauhaus, used bold concrete forms to express this optimistic vision of new city living.
		The complex, marked by two cylindrical concrete towers and two semi-circular ones, is an architectural cousin of Marina City and deserves its spot on the National Register of Historic Places.

		I find that Goldberg's work is, in fact, all the more interesting because aspects of it are difficult to assess, maybe even disturbing.
		Perhaps most famous among his designs is Marina City, a set of towers nicknamed by some Chicago wags as The Corn Cobs.
		Unveiled to great acclaim, Marina City was viewed as a success from both an architectural and city planning perspective until the 1970s, when it fell on hard times and gained a reputation as another 1960s experiment gone wrong.

		Hands down, the best overall history of the building is given in Architect Bertrand Goldberg's own words, in an extraordinary and detailed interview transcript available from the website of the Art Institute of Chicago.
		Marina Towers is the name of the condo association, and the unofficial shorthand monicker used to refer to the buildings--even by Goldberg, himself--during construction.
