The Chicago Chapter of IFMA invites you to tour the Aqua! The famous skyscraper was recently awarded the Emporis Skyscraper Award and features distinctive design by renowned Chicago architect Jeanne Gang. In a recent article in the Chicago Tribune, Emporis was quoted as saying "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." Aqua is also currently the tallest structure designed by a woman-led firm.
A presentation prior to the tour will feature speakers from Magellan Development, McHugh Construction and Studio Gang and attendees are welcome to attend a Networking event immediately following the tour.
