    Glass Roof

    The roof of the Piano Pavilion is a complex design. Panels of subtly curved and textured
    glass sit within a steel frame. The frame also houses a system of louvered shutters that control
    the entry of light into the galleries.
    The entire roof is covered with electricity-generating photovoltaic cells.
