Coloring Book, page 4

Here's a piece of architecture I love, Santiago Calatrava's addition to the Milwaukee Art Museum. The space is cathedral-like with a vaulted ceiling, marble floors and an atmosphere that's imposing and spiritual. The museum went into debt to do it but they've turned the debt around now and the city has embraced the building as its civic symbol and everybody seems happy at the moment. I've been there several times and love it more each time. See flickr for the original.
