Here is an article in The New York Times City Room, Sept 2, 2008, written by David W. Dunlap, titled “The See-Through Skyscraper”. 

“Transparency” is the architectural watchword of the era, almost guaranteed to appear in any reference to contemporary glass-clad towers.

But real buildings usually look a lot different than the clear plastic models and crystalline renderings shown at news conferences and ribbon cuttings.

Once in a while, however, when the light and the angles are just right, a skyscraper can come close to vanishing.

That happened last Thursday, when the 52 floors of 7 World Trade Center faded into the cloud-flecked blue of a late summer afternoon. Its masonry neighbors (140 West Street and 90 West Street) stood out in contrast.

Interesting isn’t? But the most enthralled me so much is “once in a while, when the light and the angles are just right, a skyscraper can come close to vanishing”. It reminds me of our human nature. “Sometimes” when the conditions is very okay or are just right, our identity, our character, our “self” can be evaporates or dissolves with our surroundings.

Be yourself whatever your condition force you. Godspeed.
