Description
This architectural abstract of the Milwaukee Art Museum shows one outstretched wing of the Burke Brise Soleil, a moveable sunscreen with a total wingspan of 217 feet. It folds over the spacious Windhover Hall at night and during inclement weather. Twice a day the wings are folded and then re-opened as sightseers watch. The Quadracci Pavilion, designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, was opened in 2001 as an addition to an existing building on Lake Michigan, which still houses the majority of the permanent collection of art. Its exterior and interior are equally fascinating. Copyright 2011 Ann Horn. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Always remembering the old rules and excercising your reflexes make for fantastic results in photography and artwork. Love the triangles and diamonds in the sky of architecture. Well Done Ann!
