Standing adjacent to the Shepherd School of Music on the Rice University campus, the James Turrell Skyspace titled Twilight Epiphany is visible from the surrounding Texas Medical Center and many neighboring high-rises. Accommodating 120 people on two levels, the space is acoustically engineered for musical performances and serves as a laboratory for music students. The pyramid-like structure is equipped with an LED light sequence that projects onto the ceiling and through the 72-foot square knife-edge roof at sunrise and sunset. Turrell?s composition of light complements the natural light present at sunrise and sunset, and it transforms the Skyspace into a place of contemplation within the Rice campus and the natural world. Twilight Epiphany is made possible by Rice alumna and Board of Trustee member Suzanne Deal Booth.
