The Aqua tower was built in 2009 in downtown Chicago. It was designed  by Studio Gang Architects with James Loewenberg as the architect on  record. This is a residential building with 82 floors.

When I first saw this building, I thought it was so cool. I had no idea what it was. Later that day, my mom and I went on an architecture river tour. In this tour, I got to know what this building was. After this tour, I have been obsessed with this building.

Flash forward I few years to when I go to an architecture camp over the summer. For one of the projects we had to choose a building we liked and go into depth on the building. This caused me to do lots of research on Aqua. All this research made me love this building even more than I had in the past.
