I have been thinking about water towers a lot, not the Water Tower, but water towers. They are on top of every old building over 6 stories high. If you are looking for them in the city you cannot miss them they are every where. I had heard about a project going on in the arcitectual world that involved making those old water towers useful in some way. I like this idea because they would not be tearing these great pieces of history down but instead modernizing them.
I was then told just the other day that the Chicago Cultural Museum was going to have an exhibit showing all of the projects that were entered. This includeds almost 100 proposals. Thanks Reilly for that find.
I am really looking forward to checking this exhibit out. The museum is in a great location right across the street from millenium park and down the block from the Art Institute, so there is plenty to do before or after you check out the water tanks.
It takes place at:
The Chicago Cultural Center
78 East Washington St.
Chicago, IL 60602
The exhibit goes until the 29th of January. Info

No problem, thanks for the shout out. Let me know when you plan on checking it out, the Cultural Center is cool -I'm down. My sister is around this weekend and I think she is giving the gift of art as a belated xmas gift. She does some sweet contemporary photography.
