Milwaukee Art Museum

I first saw this in a completely computerized rendering in the singular, incomparable online video called The Third & the Seventh. This is part of the Milwaukee Art Museum. Take it away, Wikipedia:

…designed by Santiago Calatrava (his first completed project in the United States), which opened on May 4, 2001. … The structure contains a movable, wing-like brise soleil which opens up for a wingspan of 217 feet during the day, folding over the tall, arched structure at night or during inclement weather. The brise soleil has since become a symbol for the city of Milwaukee.
