"Rogue Wave"

Aqua Building ~ Chicago, Illinois ~ USA

Rogue Wave at the Aqua Building. The Aqua building is a 82 story mixed use residential skyscraper in downtown Chicago. The design team was led by Jeanne Gang of Studio Gang Architects. The building has a really interesting and unique design. The balconies have a wave shape that makes the building look like it is a series of waves.

Wow - fun play on shapes and light here. Very nice result.

Are there foot traffic problems on the streets below with photographers getting everyone's way trying shooting this structure?

Alan - No, I did not notice any foot traffic problems. Some folks walking by took out their cell phones to get a quick picture. Then some other people noticed five guys with tripods and expensive camera gear, looked up, and took a cell phone picture!

Very cool Tex! That is one super cool building. I wonder if there is anything else like it in the world?
