A. The Arundel Court Building: Is located at at 772-778 St. Nicholas Avenue in Harlem, and it was built by Henri Fouchaux's in 1905, it features the masking of the newly mandated light-court with an arch and recessing fire escapes in subordinate archways. B. James Turrell's Site Specific "Meeting" from the (Skyspaces Series): One of the highlights of MoMA PS1, this site-specific installation has been there since the fall of 1986. It was initially part of a series commissioned by Alanna Heiss focusing on light and perception. Meeting is composed of a square room with a rectangular opening cut directly into the ceiling. Carefully calculated artificial lights produce an orange glow on the white walls of the room, permitting the viewer to appreciate the intensity of the sky’s color. As Turrell described  in an Art21 interview: “There’s this four-square seating that’s inside, seating toward each other, having a space that created some silence, allowing something to develop slowly over time, particularly at sunset. Also, this Meeting has to do with the meeting of space that you’re in with the meeting of the space of the sky." Meeting is one of Turrell’s series of “skyspaces,” all involving enclosed spaces with rectangular or rounded holes cut into the ceiling exposing the open sky.
