Architecture and Light

I went to Roosevelt Field today to go to the Apple store, and to do a bit of shopping.  When I left, it was late in the afternoon, and this outside wall of the new Neiman Marcus store was illuminated by the sunlight from the west.  I had noticed the unusual pattern of gray rectangles, but had never seen it illuminated this way.  So I stopped and had some fun.  It really is a striking scene!  I discovered that  Elkus Manfredi Architects was the design architect.  Then I went and did a bit more exploring.  This is the same wall construction, just around the corner, but with blue skylight glancing off it.  Quite a change.  Please click on these to see them in more detail.
