Santiago Calatrava designed: leading suspension bridge, mast and Burke Brise Soleil

I have always wanted to visit and shoot this stunning Santiago Calatrava designed lakeside building in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  The 'Burke Brise Soleil' is the main feature; a massive moveable wing like structure which acts as a sunshade and automatic wind defense. Winds aside, the huge bird folds it's wings down twice a day. It is such a beautiful thing to witness in person.
