The new entranceway of glass and lightweight 100% recyclable zinc cladding for the building volume complement the ceramic tile and travertine base of the 20th century Cultural Center. The glass walls and skylights infuse the building with natural light and lessen reliance on nonrenewable energy. Visitors will be embraced within a light-filled environment that changes organically during the day and seasons. Skylights increase ambiance during the day and illuminate at night when the building glows from within and casts light to the Esplanade and park.
