Building Atmosphere The transparent zone the building embrace the backdrop of the tree line acts as a looming force over the occupant of the museum. The different ceiling heights also play a role in the type of occupation of the different areas.The 25 foot height aligns to public areas, the 30 feet to the administration core and the 15 foot ceiling to museum halls. Light also begins to play a key role in the building by aiding to bring natural light. The overhead windowpanes help to highlight the circulation within the building. The indentions into the wings also allow insight into the upcoming wings workshop rooms and views to the exterior.
