Marina City Chicago 1964

*A typical floor plan for a one-bedroom unit.*

LIFE magazine from 1964. Rent at Marina City for a one bedroom apartment was only $115 a month, now it’s $2100! The apartments are unique in containing almost no interior right angles. On each residential floor, a circular hallway surrounds the elevator core, which is 32 feet (10 m) in diameter, with 16 pie-shaped wedges arrayed around the hallway. These are truly some of the coolest, funkiest, most future-forward residential skyscrapers anywhere in the world. Doesn’t George Jetson live here? H/T>
