MILWAUKEE ART MUSEUM
Architect: Calatrava
Milwaukee Art Museum by Calatrava, which was designed in
1957 by Eero Saarinen as a war memorial, overlooks Lake Michigan, in this
picture I can see that he got the idea of the museum from maybe a war ship.
This building shows tension, with a white steel façade.
The sheer mass of this structure is overwhelming. It looks quite futuristic with the simplistic use of elegant lines. The positioning of the mast and the "front of the ship" is quite interesting. The head of the ship faces right into the water. This building looks very unique compared to the high-rise structures in the background.
