The arc’s exterior wall is half protected with a white metal curtain. Mixed with the gradual glass film of the reduce 50 percent, a fragile balance is reached involving the digital and the actual devoid of affecting the inner lighting. Approaching the outside seating space, a “Book of Longing” opens a mottled brick entrance.
