In Lisle, Ill., the Science of Spirituality[1] International Meditation Center walls glow golden. Designed by Gensler, Chicago, and fabricated and post-painted by Metal Design Systems Inc., Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the walls incorporate unitized frames that create angles off flat walls around two ovals. On the top row, a custom-perforated pattern with a back pan accent in gold reveals the pattern more prominently.
