 “Light Swimming” continually delights the passersby with its shifting appearance, dawn to dusk. The spectacular “light show,” primarily controlled by the sun’s position in the sky, creates an ever-changing wash of colors and shadows across the building. At dusk, the wall mounted “prismatic sconces,” with solar powered L.E.D lights, illuminate the building’s facades for a dramatic effect. The addition of dimensional hemispheres compliments the diagonal grid of the building. Through light and shadow artist Mark T. Fuller’s design is an evolution of the architect's vision of letting the building's mass and form speak for itself.
