I love that building

that's a good one

Oh cool! We have a lot of those at work!

This art museum is now on my bucket list of things to see.

dkronfeld: You do?

caribouken: Nothing so elaborate as at the Milwaukee Art Museum, but a lot of basic ones:

Until I read the Wikipedia link in your post, I had always wondered what the heck they were

dkronfeld: Wow, really nice and glad to help with the enlightenment.

I never knew what they were either, but it seems one of my favorite classrooms (long ago) at Wayne State was in a building that has a simple version of them. They're everywhere.

Interesting... In French (well, Quebec's French) those are "pare-soleil", or, for the vertical concrete slabs, "paralumes" (more or less: "against light").

StereoNacht: A subtle variation, but I like it.

should know that building - Mom went to Wayne for 2 degrees

DevSpamNull: It's the McGregor Memorial Conference Center. Campus Map
