Jeanne Gang's Aqua

You know I'm a sucker for amazing architecture, check out Jeanne Gang's new Aqua building in Chicago:

You will not be surprised to hear she studied with Rem Koolhaas, but she's clearly making waves on her own...  :)  In addition to being beautiful and giving the building a unique clothlike texture, the "fins" actually deflect wind, making the building much more stable in the windy city.  Most excellent.
