The hypotenuse of the triangle is formed by a glass cable-net wall faces northeast, and reduces the overall exterior surface area of the building, helping to moderate the interior climate.

The south and west walls of the building deflect direct summer sun with a travertine fin-wall and brise soleil shades that don't obstruct views.

Iits surface is perforated with smaller atria inset into the office bars, allowing light into the interior and for views through the building.

It is attached to the cables with v-shaped rocker mechanisms that are designed to maintain tension in a seismic event, keeping the lantern fixed in place.

The glass pleats increase reflection and refraction in the atrium and building exterior, while interior bronze walls contain the exhibition spaces of the museum.
