I know that taste is subjective but how can anyone not, at the least, like this building. Damn its sexy. Im just in love with those curves.

^ This building is REALLY growing on me.

This bigger rendering truly shows hot it has that dynamic, "rippling" quality so true to its name

Thanks for sharing that rendering. It gives a much better indication of what the undulations look like. This tower is first-rate.

Messed with it.

There's a cool future pic of the Chicago skyline with the Aqua in it over at SSC that's done by uberalles. Check it out!

Wow, that's pretty damn crazy. Looks like a scan though?

Aqua looks like it'll be a really great addition to the skyline.

Liz · #**258** Posted **Mar 27, 2006, 10:31 PM**

double sorry.

Steely Dan · #**259** Posted **Mar 27, 2006, 10:52 PM**

^ i don't see how anyone could be conflicted at all. if aqua gets built as currently planned, then the proposed BCBS vertical expansion would be terrible for the skyline from that classic postcard vantage point.

Interesting note about the Fairmont Hotel in this link. I don't know why, but I thought the hotel expansion was going in a possible new tower south of Aqua.
