Downtown on a summer evening in August is magical. Food at Grand Central market, Music up on California Plaza and a walk down Grand ave. A lot of people walking, sitting, relaxing, enjoying the gorgeous California evening. 
Two icons of modern downtown caught my attention. The Disney Hall of course and next door, the New Broad Museum which has already been photographed by many people.
The veil, which is what the exterior is being called is made out of fiberglass reinforced concrete Panels. It reminds me of the wonderful terra cotta tiles we have all over older buildings downtown. This is an updated take on the same concept – giving a very different feel to the building- a modern fluid appearance.
It is fun to see the panels through the curved window, of course I’m looking forward to seeing this image from the inside.
Looking up at the corner of the building, the curves, the points, the angles, I’m loving it all.
The golden California sunlight being captured within the blocks.
Right next door, The Disney Hall, once again, I can’t say enough about the light and what it does to all these wonderful curves and angles.
Not to mention that this would make an incredible quilt.
The glass captures the light differently from the metal surface.
And of course reflects other wonderful building, like City Hall.
Which viewed on it’s own is a remarkable example of Art Deco.
Capped by a pyramid. As well as modern implements – probably modern technology. Although these circular objects mar the surface some, in the overall scheme of things, they don’t really make a difference to this beautiful landmark.
