The boat ride last week was amazing, and I never knew how fantasy the architecture could be without this experience. During the boat ride, I couldn’t help to take as many pictures as I could, and I had to show my high respect to the architects.
In fact, I didn’t pay much attention to the explanation the lady gave while I was busy in taking pictures; however, I still could catch something the lady said. I learned that there were two bridges, the North Chicago Bridge and the South Chicago Bridge, during the boat ride, and I also knew that many of the architectures during the tour were built after the Chicago Fire in 1871. Moreover, the majority of the buildings were of latest design back at their time. The most interesting thing was that two buildings were refreshed for better light.
During my taking photos tour, I noticed that all the buildings could be classified into three types, the International type, the post-modern type, and the art deco type. The dominant type was International, and those building were always full of glass but lack of decorations. Nevertheless, I didn’t like this type, and my favorite building was the building with no right angles. All the corners of the building were curved, and I could think of the waves if I turned my head 90 degrees. However, I was surprised that two buildings, as I mentioned before, had to be refreshed. Obviously, the designers couldn’t expect more buildings around.
The wonderful one hour flied, and I still thought of the amazing buildings on my way home. I truly respected the creative designers and the skillful workers, and it seemed that everything could show up in their hands, the building lying alone near the Navy Pier, the building with waterfall shape, and so on. I really loved the outing; not only had it enlarged my vision, but may it lead me to my future career — architect.
