Aqua


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Aqua
Aqua
A daring piece of architecture, Aqua comes off more as a massive sculpture than a residential building in the heart of Chicago. Protruding from its surface are undulating concrete balconies resembling ripples or waves. This is an appropriate homage considering the building is located near Lake Michigan and the Chicago River. Much like each wave in the lake, each floor platein Aqua is unique, thus construction was unusually complicated. Designed by female architect, Jeanne Gang.

  Ms. Gang sure has a marvelous architectural mind - what a magnificent building...such very unique lines! I can believe that it was a real challenge to construct but the end result is just stunning...as is your capture of it, Leslie. No doubt, this will be back again...and again! Well done!
