The Aqua Tower in Chicago looks cool and literally feels cool because of massive thermal bridging. What is thermal bridging? Thermal bridging is what happens when you sit down on a cold park bench and freeze your rear off β literally the process of sitting destroys the heated air barrier between your skin and pants; and the bones in your butt compress the fabric reducing the effective insulation between your cheeks and the seat. The result is a cold rump. The thermographic image below shows how perfectly the thermal bridging follows the contours of the towers floor plates.
