Also what is missing is that the layered glass model was only done to study the light transmission. The white massing model is a further study that closer approximates the number of layers and the disposition of the angled panels of glass. The technical drawings that you are missing have been largess unpublished except for the crossection that was in the Concord Monitor article last year on April 26th. The Globe unfortunately did not publish adequate detail of the design. The NJ-AIA has two representative images of the design that represent more clearly the concept. You have to go to their website and click pull down menu for design day and click 2007 awards. Also the AIA-NH has a presentation board 20"x20" traveling in an exhibit of the 2008 award winners somewhere in the state. You will have to contact the NH-AIA to find out the exhibit schedule. I believe you might be able to find more answers if you find the exhibit panel and read the text as well. Once you have more complete understanding of the design and its intent then I believe you will be able to broadcast a better personal opinion.
