August 2013 — The 35 West Wacker building in downtown Chicago.

August 2013 — Prominent in the foreground is 301 South Wacker Drive, completed in 1989 in a postmodern style, identifiable by its green pyramidal roof and vertical glass grid patterns that reflected late-20th-century corporate architectural design in Chicago. Just to the right are the Marina City towers, completed in 1967 by architect Bertrand Goldberg as one of the earliest large-scale mixed-use residential developments intended to draw residents back into the urban core during a period of downtown population decline. Farther north, the tall dark building with twin antenna masts is the John Hancock Center, completed in 1969 using innovative bundled-tube engineering developed in Chicago, a system that allowed greater height and wind resistance while reducing material use. Beyond it, the Lake Michigan shoreline reveals Chicago’s growth toward the lakefront, where residential high-rises expanded throughout the 1970s and 1980s to serve tourism, business housing, and dense urban living. The view illustrates the evolution of Chicago’s skyline as a center of architectural experimentation and urban redevelopment.

July 2015 — U.S. Bank Stadium, home of the Minnesota Vikings, began construction in December 2013 on the site of the former Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in downtown Minneapolis. The stadium’s steel skeleton, seen here during its mid-construction phase, showcases the dramatic angular geometry that defines its final form — a nod to both Nordic shipbuilding and Minnesota’s icy winter landscapes. The project, designed by HKS Architects and constructed by Mortenson, features over 19,000 tons of structural steel and spans 1.75 million square feet. Its transparent ETFE roof panels and vast steel trusses were among the most complex structural assemblies ever attempted in a U.S. stadium build. Completed in 2016, the $1.1 billion stadium remains one of the most technically ambitious indoor venues in North America, notable for its fixed-roof design, massive glass curtain walls, and precision-engineered support cranes like the red lattice boom seen here — used to hoist the roof trusses into place during overnight construction sessions.
