The
composition of the glass entry walls was developed to harmonize with
the Federalist style architecture. The primary objectives of the work
were to emphasize the presence of the entry and to convey a sense
of order and tradition. The design is a contemporary visual commentary
on a traditional Federalist motif. It was created with the intent
of conveying an elegance and sophistication without a sense of elitism
or pretension, but rather a feeling of egalitarian pluralism. This
was accomplished by the use of plate glass with polished engraved
lines and beveled edges. These elements are universally appealing
due to the inherent beauty in the glass as the light animates it.
