36 Quadracci Pavilion at Milwaukee Art Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

In 2001, the Milwaukee Art Museum’s Quadracci Pavilion was completed on the shores of Lake Michigan in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The unique architecture was designed by world-famous architect Santiago Calatrava. The external focal point is the beautiful Burke Brise-Soleil. It consists of 217 foot wings. They open and close like a giant butterfly twice a day or during excessive winds. The process takes 3.5 minutes to completely move the steel fins.
