Today, we visited the La Moneda Cultural Center. What was 4 stories under the ground seemed like it was right on top. The amount of environment brought into the space was astounding. The beams at the roof of the building let in a wonderful amount of light. The slits were comparable to a clerestory or an oculus that I had learned about in 2300 due to the way it allowed in the elements that surrounded the building. The stones and plants lining the wall of the center also worked to make the basement building feel like it was just a doorway back out to ground floor. The light and vegetation within were strategically chosen to pull in the outdoors in an astonishing way.
