Center: Bank of America. Its red Napoleon granite came from Sweden.
It contains a building within a building. Because the telegraph cables of Houston’s Western Union headquarters couldn’t be relocated, the Bank of America Center had to be built around it. The building can still be seen, fully intact, inside the skyscraper’s lobby.

This 2 story behemoth is the tallest building in
Molena, Georgia unless you count the churches with their steeples. It is home to the local Bed and Breakfast and has a wonderful view of the city water tower. If you book your room for a weekend night, you’ll receive complimentary entertainment in the form of “live sangin’” from the nightclub next door. This makes your stay unique unless you actually want to sleep or something.

This is one of my favorite buildings in downtown Chicago. Every time I pass by I just admire the converging lines looking upward along with the curves. I took this shot a while back but wanted to go back and process this one. I played with curves and Color Look up tables in Photoshop CC to get to this type of cinematic color grading. I like this look a lot for urbanscapes, which is a very popular one on Instagram.

"Skyscraper is a physical example of why we need to change how we use and dispose of plastic in the world today" -Lesley Chang, Principal, STUDIOKCA
DESCRIPTION:
5 tons of plastic waste pulled out of the Pacific Ocean, turned into a 4 story tall whale for the 2018 Bruges Triennial - a reminder of the 150,000,000 tons of plastic waste still swimming in our waters
The organizers of the 2018 Bruges Triennial, approached us to create an artpiece interpreting the idea of the “liquid city”, a concept that defines the city as an ever changing set of consumer transactions, whose identity is in flux as cities grow more and more connected through globalization.
Our first thought led us to thinking about the biggest liquid city on the planet (the ocean), how it connects us all, and how the waste produced and consumed in our cities, specifically plastic waste, ends up in the ocean.
SO, we proposed collecting as much plastic waste out of the oceans that we could in 4 months, and shaping that waste into Skyscraper, an almost 4 story tall whale pushing out of one of Bruges' main canals, and arching over historic Jan Van Eyck Square at the city's center.
Skyscraper was selected along with 14 other installations proposed by a select group of international artists and architects to be brought to life for the event!
Scientists estimate there are 150 million tons of plastic trash in the ocean right now, with an estimated 8 million tons added every year. That means, pound for pound, there is more plastic waste from our cities swimming in the ocean than there are whales. A whale, breaching from the water, is the first "skyscraper of the sea", and as the largest mammal in the water, it felt like the right form for our piece to take in order to show the scope and scale of the problem.
Working with the Hawaii Wildlife Fund and the Surfrider Foundation Kaui Chapter, we were able to pull over 5 tons of plastic to create Skyscraper.

View of Dubai Marina from the Jumeirah Palm Island. The skyline with skyscrapers in the distance and yachts in the water below make for a lovely cityscape. Dubai Marina is an artificial canal city, built along a two-mile (3 km) stretch of Persian Gulf shoreline. When the entire development is complete, it will accommodate more than 120,000 people in residential towers and villas. This is an enhanced, wider perspective of an earlier upload of mine.
