108: Aqua Tower
 
Architects: Studio Gang Architects
Location: 200 North Columbus Drive, Chicago, IL, USA
Architect of Record: Loewenberg & Associates
Owner: Magellan Development Group / NNP Residential LLC
Status: Completed 2010
 
Aqua Tower is an 82-story mixed-use residential skyscraper in the Lakeshore East development in downtown Chicago. The building's height of 819 ft (250 m) includes six levels of parking below ground. Its eight-story 140,000 sq ft (13,000 m2) base is topped by a 82,550 sq ft (7,669 m2) terrace with gardens, gazebos, pools, hot tubs, a walking/running track and fire pit. The building also contains 55,000 sq ft (5,100 m2) of retail and office space, in addition to 215 hotels rooms (floors 1-18), 476 rental residential units (floors 19-52), and 263 condominium units & Penthouses (floors 53-80).
 
The design was inspired by the striated limestone outcroppings common in the Great Lakes area. But this sinuous shape is not just a mere formal gesture, but it is also a strategy to extend the views and maximize solar shading. And by looking at the plans we see a rational structure, true to the Mies legacy in the city. Its vertical topography is defined by its outdoor terraces that gradually change in plan over the length of the tower. These terraces offer a strong connection to the outdoors and allow inhabitants to occupy the building façade and city simultaneously. The result is a highly sculptural building when viewed obliquely that transforms into a slender rectangle from further away.

Abengoa is an international technology company whose primary activity focuses on sustainable development in the infrastructure, environment and energy sectors. The design for Campus Palmas Altas (CPA) aims to create a new model for the business park, one that is not only more compact and urban in character than conventional business parks, but also particularly suited to the extreme summertime conditions prevalent in the south of Spain.
 
CPA comprises seven buildings providing approximately 47,000 m2 of office space across highly compact floor plates in self-contained structures between 3-5 storeys in height. The buildings are arranged to either side of a central space which is made up of a sequence of interconnected plazas. Five of the buildings form Abengoa’s HQ complex, incorporating research & development as well as administrative facilities. The remaining two buildings will offer high quality office accommodation to a range of other tenants which have synergies with Abengoa.
 
The central space unifies all seven buildings and - because of the stepped arrangement - creates a sequence of discrete spaces, ranging from patios to sunken courtyards and terraces. The organization of these spaces aims to reduce the heat load on the bu本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
