Scene Seen
Scene Seen describes two views that occur in a building comprised of transparent walls. By day the emphasis for occupants is about seeing outside to view a landscape or skyscape. By night, however, when the transparent interior is artificially lit, the emphasis is about others looking in, and the occupants and furnishings are seen by those on the outside, in effect, becoming a scene for others to view.
