The wing's typically below-grade position produces harsh contrasts of night as well as lighting, which the architects at MILLIu00d8NS attended to by offering reflective as well as refractive materials. A core factor of the design is actually a series of two-story glass towers that carry reprimand the room while housing the ceramics assortment. These open-shelf high rises permit guests to make use of the ceramics, malfunctioning the conventional divide between fine art as well as public communication.
