Interior Photographs

To the left we see an image of the inside part of the building that is facing Lake Michigan. With the glass walls facing the lake, it will be impossible that the sunlight not enter the vast space. The idea of making the walls a powerful white color enhances and reflects the natural light that is entered. It seems that Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava had the intention of affecting the mood of the visitors in a positive aspect. If you walk towards the center of the window/wall you are able to acknowledge the balance and symmetry of each side which is comforting as opposed to an unbalanced building that would make the visitor feel at edge.
