518    Originally produced by Checkerboard Film Foundation in 
       2009. 
520    Chicago is famous for its role in fostering modern 
       architecture, owing to the legacy of Louis Sullivan and 
       Frank Lloyd Wright in the late 1900s, and Mies van der 
       Rohe in the mid-20th Century. Jeanne Gang, founder of 
       Studio Gang, gave the epithet "Chicago School" a new 
       meaning. Gang, who started her architectural practice in 
       Chicago in 1997, completed Aqua, an 82-story apartment 
       tower, overlooking the city's Millennium Park in 2009. She
       differentiated herself from the big-office architects who 
       typically procure apartment building commissions by 
       designing a sinuously-curving concrete tower that is as 
       imaginative as it is elegant. Already an icon on the 
       city's skyline, the tower's concrete floorplates take on a
       different contour at each level, with variously-curved 
       cantilevered balconies. Gang worked with Aqua's developer 
       James Loewenberg of Magellan Development Group, who is 
       also an architect, to come up with a number of green 
       features for the building. The terraces offer shading 
       against the sun, with heat-resistant and reflective glass 
       provided where needed, and the building has an 80,000 
       square-foot garden on the roof of the podium on which the 
       tower sits. The film not only examines the thinking behind
       Aqua which makes the building's presence against the 
       skyline so striking, but takes visitors to the award-
       winning "Brick Weave House" (2009) in a Chicago 
       residential neighborhood, where brick walls form a large 
       open-air "screened porch" at the house's front. Another 
       project, the SOS Children's Village Lavezzorio Community 
       Center on Chicago's South Side (2008) makes use of 
       irregular, workmanlike concrete. In addition, Blair Kamin,
       the architectural critic of the Chicago Tribune, appears 
       in the film to elucidate the impact Gang has had on the 
       Chicago landscape.
