What do the buildings we create say about us? How does a musical interpretation change our perception of a building?

The buildings include Saarinen's masterpiece for TWA, Calatrava's Milwaukee Art Museum and a Black church in Chicago among others.

The library is a thriving culture hub hosting dance, film, music, art exhibits and more. Ohio State Reformatory was a notorious maximum security prison that would later serve as the set for the film The Shawshank Redemption.
