Reflecting on Architecture



This photograph was taken during a construction tour of the new Beverly Wilshire project in Beverly Hills. The alternating color shapes are reflections of the new building as seen across the alley. The two colors of exterior glass have nearly identical visible light transmission and are only subtly noticeable on the building's interior but create a distinct pattern on the exterior.
