Glad you like the image... We drove 16 hours Sunday just to visit this sucker (from Cincinnati to Akron and then back home to Atlanta), and it was well worth it.
ReplyDeleteThere is also a great thread showing some construction shots and discussion of the design, as well as some of the other shots I took over on Pushpullbar.com Here is the link:

Where'd you take this shot from? It looks like you'd have to be in another building across the street...or in a cherry picker!
ReplyDeleteJohn, it appears Wizum took the shot from the roof of the parking deck across from the new museum. Ourroussoff in the NYTimes called the parking deck ugly - but it's not so bad and regardless, it serves the terrific purpose of allowing visitors to the new Akron Art Museum to view the building from four different height perspectives directly across the street! Everyone come on over to Akron!
