| Title | Crown Fountain, meeting in Chicago, ca. April 10, 2002 |
| Description | Alan Schachtman of U.S. Equities Realty (left) and artist Jaume Plensa view LED test panels at the offices of Krueck + Sexton Architects at 221 West Erie Street in Chicago. U.S. Equities Realty was the construction manager for Crown Fountain. Crown Fountain was designed by Jaume Plensa, and Krueck + Sexton Architects was tasked with turning Plensa's concept into reality. The finished fountain has two 50-foot LED screens encased in glass brick towers facing each other across a reflecting pool. The giant LED screens show videos of Chicagoans' faces throughout the year, including during the winter when the water is drained from the fountain. |
