A photography exhibit about the ways the Great Lakes shape architecture opens Thursday at the Chicago Maritime Museum in Bridgeport.
The big picture: The exhibit will feature maritime images, such as lighthouses and boathouses, but also beach architecture like The Florida Tropical House in Beverly Shores.
- It's all the work of photographer Josh Lipnik, who tells Axios he's been photographing architecture for more than 20 years, primarily in the Midwest.
What they're saying: "I think that the cities of the Midwest and the Rust Belt, where you have sort of de-industrialized cities that have fallen on harder times, make for a really interesting architecture history," Lipnik tells Axios.
Zoom in: Chicago and Detroit figure prominently in the exhibit, but also Michigan's Upper Peninsula and Wisconsin.
If you go: The Midwest Modern exhibit will be at Chicago's Maritime Museum, located on the River Level of the Bridgeport Art Center, through the fall. Tickets are $10 for adults.
