I know this sounds kind of crazy, but I wonder if the unusual surface of this building can be described by a mathematical equation?

truedaniel · #**5110** Posted **Jul 17, 2009, 7:49 PM**

^^ Yeah..those are about the same numbers I came up with

Laugh all you want, but I would like to see what Aqua's four sides would look like if unfolded into one plane. To me it would it would resemble a 3 dimensional surface whose top part was cut by a plane.

Sweet shot of Mather tower as well Wrabbit! Where was this taken from?

wrab · #**5115** Posted **Jul 18, 2009, 8:32 PM**

^ That's from the balcony of a friend's place at Marina City - he has this really amazing view down the river.

Along with several hundred homeowners, I spent several hours this afternoon at the Aqua Celebration Event.
