Bertrand Goldberg

Bertrand Goldberg ( born July 17, 1913 in Chicago, † October 8, 1997 ) was an American architect.

His most famous work is the Marina City complex in Chicago with the highest in the completion of residential buildings in the world.

Goldberg studied at the Cambridge School of Landscape Architecture (now part of Harvard University) and went at age 18, in 1932, to Germany to study at the Bauhaus. He worked in the architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe office and had to flee in 1933 because of his Jewish origin from the Nazis to Paris, from where he returned to Chicago. In 1937 he opened his own architectural firm in Chicago.

His estate is archived at the Art Institute of Chicago.
