How do you convince a steering committee to keep an unconditioned atrium in 32-degree heat? You quietly kill the chiller in their boardroom twenty minutes before the pitch and slide the corner glazing open. Once the cross-breeze actually cut the humidity in the room, all the panic about sealing the whole block in glass just vanished.
Brilliant bit of theatre. I’d wager the sudden death of that low-frequency chiller hum did half the work of calming the room before they even registered the breeze.
