Water Box (Aqua Tower Chicago)

by dylanchavez on December 1, 2009

I ran across this building in a magazine a few days ago and thought it was a very unique solution to a standard box tower. The building is called the Aqua Tower and designed by Studio Gang Architects.

The primary building is a standard rectangle tower but the facade is animated with a series of projecting balconies. The result I think is quite interesting. Below are links to some images from the project rendering and actual images of the project.
