Modern Marvel

The Florida Polytechnic University Building, designed by renowned Spanish architect Dr. Santiago Calatrava, is a 160,000-square-foot white domed structure built in Lakeland. The oval building has a distinctive louvered roof system and is surrounded by a ring of curved metal pergolas that shade its outer terrace and walkways. A crisp clean visible building by day and a beautifully illuminated building at night.
This building is light weight made out of concrete, glass and aluminum. The ceilings move with different settings to follow the sun through out the day to control the amount of sunlight that comes in. And at night it is illuminating and just beautiful. The night shot of this university just caught my eye. The clean glass, endless arches and glowing effect are amazing. It took four years to build this university and 60 million dollars. It has been referred to as the new Modern Marvel. I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I did.
