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.

Architect: Gensler[2], Chicago[3]
General contractor: Skender[4], Chicago
Installer: Architecture Panel Systems[5], Naperville, Ill.
Post-painting: Metal Design Systems Inc.[6], Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
