Was designed by Alvar Aalto, a famous Finnish architect. Its a really neat three level space. As you can see the skylight/clerestory section lets in a lot of light, but not harsh light--it faces north, away from direct sunlight. The placement of the pillars in the middle of the vault causes all three arc-shaped floor plates to appear to float (reminds me of the Jetsons for some reason, but I find it quite beautiful). There are lots of other neat things about the space. I'd like to return to spend more time here.
I'd love to wander there for a day or two.
