light and shadow

Richard Meier is renowned for the magnificent chiaroscuro in his building projects. I found the interior architecture of the MACBA to be quite fascinating and incredibly well thought out. Each walk way, wall, and column is positioned in a way that creates beautiful shadows and streams of light as the sun shines through the huge glass facade of the building. The everchanging visual interest of the interior makes it a pleasure to walk through and serves as a complimentary backdrop to the avant guard artwork displayed at the museum.
