River City, Residential complex in South Loop, Chicago, US
River City extends along the Chicago River with connected buildings featuring curvilinear forms and concrete sculptural elements designed by Bertrand Goldberg.
The construction of River City began in 1972 and underwent multiple design modifications over a decade before its completion in 1986.
The architectural design reflects Goldberg's vision of creating vertical communities within urban settings, integrating residential spaces with commercial establishments.
The complex contains 1,027 residential units with balconies and terraces, connected by bridges that enable pedestrian movement throughout the development.
The structure follows a snake-like pattern along the river, replacing the initial concept of triad towers connected by skybridges.
