As a pioneer in the Light and Space Movement, Eric Orr favored naturally occurring materials, but also worked with the man-made alloy, bronze. This sculpture garden puts bronze, water, and various types of stone - including the semi-precious - in concert to create a seemingly austere but in fact accommodating space for contemplation. The entire entry to the building is the sculpture, several forms sitting in a shallow reflecting pond.
