Walt Disney Concert Hall (Cafe)

The glass façade of the cafe highlights the condition and experience of being beyond. For the outer shell of this glass enclosure, staggered panels register a striated pattern of alternating sand blasted and transparent bands that extend from one end of the space to the other. Muting light, color, and movement from beyond the main dining space, this striped enclosure acts as a moving blind that appears to shift open and closed as people disappear beyond it, reappear fragmented for moments, and then emerge again as they began.
