skyspace provides a quiet, meditative setting in which one concentrates on the view of the sky through a 9 ½ x 9 ½ ft. opening in the ceiling. The rim of the aperture is knife-edge thin, which helps heighten the perception of the sky’s proximity. It often appears that the sky has been drawn like a sheet tightly across the opening. Italian limestone benches line the interior plaster walls of the skyspace. They are heated during the winter, and the skyspace is air-conditioned in warmer months, providing a comfortable viewing environment year round.
