" 'There's some innovation there,' jurors said about this imposing structure's copper rain screen. 'It integrates with the massing of the major components.' Like the agency this building houses, the rain screen is there to protect and provide aid; it protects windows that would otherwise be left vulnerable, and it aids in unifying the overall design. Perforations in the screen allow natural light into the building, relieving the intensity of the work that goes on there." – http://aiachicago.org/special_features/2007DEA/awards.asp?subID=728
