A truly modern residential skyscraper: AquaChicago's Aqua is Emporis' "skyscraper of the year." I'm sure other awards will follow.
Members of the jury praised Aqua for its fascinating shape, whose appearance changes dramatically depending on the perspective. It was also cited as a brilliant technical achievement for the precision of its construction, and lauded as an application of green design innovations to an extremely large building project.As someone who lives among the sad attempts to recreate bigger versions of contemptible copies of outdated designs (and which have no respect for even past-modern aesthetics or craftsmanship), I say, "Hoorah!"
Why are people so easily herded into ugly, inefficient, and poorly designed homes?
