Three images from the tremendous Yale Center for British Art. I've arranged them top floor to bottom floor - you can see how Kahn layered natural and artificial light from the massive skylights at the top floor to the nearly cavernous circulation core on the ground floor.
The material choices also lend interesting color combinations-- a cool blue-grey concrete paired with yellow-orange wood doors. Wood paneled walls with concrete piping--a nice balance of warm and cool colors. Did it seem to have harmony in its color choices?
