My little square
Thu 28th Jun, 2007
My image is based on the Milwaukee Art Museum by architect Santiago Calatrava of Valencia Spain.
Perched on the shore of Lake Michigan,it resembles a large sailing vessel. A unique feature is it's moveing wings or sails. They open at 10:00AM and close at 5:00PM. They "flap" at 12:00 noon to the delight of visitors.
This is Calatrava's first project in the United States,completed in 2001.
If you click on the second link above,you can see a photo of the museum.
