YoChicago still safe from Marina City's image use policy

Marina City

Despite Marina Towers Condo Association‘s lengthy new document governing the use of Marina City‘s imagery, YoChicago can claim exemption due to our editorial role – which is a good thing, because we wanted to share this view with you. Snapped from 330 N Wabash Ave, it’s a shot of the iconic development few people will get a chance to see. The view looking east of the Trump International Hotel & Tower is equally impressive.

Lynn Becker’s post today from Architecture Chicago Plus takes a few wild swings at the policy.

Again, all of this just to use a photograph taken from a public way of a complex of buildings the Condo Association doesn’t even own. (condo’s take up only 40 of the towers 60 floors; all of the rest of Marina City is owned by someone else.)

In fairness, the document only stipulates restrictions if the imagery is used for a commercial or business purpose. Fair editorial use is – and has been – unobstructed.
