Contemplative Court - Smithsonian
The Contemplative Court's ceiling required a somber elegance, as well as gloss, to reflect the delicate movement of the water. Natural materials could not be utilized in this ceiling, due to weight, UV degradation, and maintenance. The final finish, a mid-gloss blackened copper with green flecks, was designed and the ceiling panels then perforated to capture the range of light sources, allowing the participant to gaze upward in contemplation.
