“On our way to Cranbrook, our studio stopped at the Glass Pavilion at the Toledo Museum of Art to explore the building and watch a glass blowing demonstration.
The Glass Pavilion was designed by Kazuyo Sejima + Ryue Nishizawa and opened in 2006, with a minimalist design that features large expanses of flat and curved glass.”
