About this audio guide
This guide to Aqua at Lakeshore East traces how Chicago architect Jeanne Gang sketched an eighty-two-story tower as if it were a limestone bluff, with hills, valleys, and pools stacked to the sky. It follows why every one of the rippling white balconies bulges or dips by a different amount, poured with GPS precision, and what that shape lets engineers skip inside the structure. Gang also designed the balconies for sightlines between neighbors and for the birds outside their windows.
