BALCONI ...

Parliamo dell’Aqua Tower di Chicago, il grattacielo disegnato da Jeanne Gang, fondatrice dello Studio Gang Architects, composto per oltre la metà da progettiste.

The balconies of Jeanne Gang's Aqua Tower in Chicago, a 82-storey skyscraper that is becoming a landmark in chicago's architectural landscape.
Convenzionale in pianta, l’Aqua Tower sviluppa sinuose e inaspettate geometrie disegnate dalle terrazze all’esterno che percorrono l’intero perimetro dell’edificio su ciascun piano, offrendo una magnifica vista sulla città e fra i vicini edifici. A conferire alla struttura la sua geometria scultorea è un sistema verticale definito sulla base di riflessioni relative ad elementi quali la vista e l’ombreggiamento. Realizzate a sbalzo, le terrazze presentano infatti forme differenti da piano a piano. Forme che, osservate nell’insieme, offrono la sensazione di un edificio che si muove seguendo un percorso ondulatorio costante.
