Water tanks on New York rooftops

Walking around New York means looking up, wanting to discover where the skyscrapers end. Joan Gaspar looked around the rooftops of the city on his last trip, and there, seeing the water tanks, he found the shape for this design. Water tanks have been a sign of New York's identity since the beginning of the 19th century, and they are still installed there, performing the same function.

Looks like zinc, is polyethylene

The outside gives the impression of metal, zinc in particular, the material long associated with storage tanks, and the joints stand out as they do on a tank. The shade is in fact polyethylene, and a white layer on the interior makes the light bounce, spread and draw the eye.
