Building that defies gravity... Guthrie

Actually it defies many things... once inside there are many structural optical illusions, difficult to photograph., Odd colored glass partitions and windows, mirrored walls,  Small hallway with 4 story ceiling, etc...What's real? what's an illusion.
It's the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis.... built on the side of a steep hill.  

OK so I photoshopped it a bit. The real photo is next, showing bridge to nowhere. 

Balcony at the end of the Bridge to nowhere. Mississippi river in background.

With special surface coating on the building, the reflection of clouds on the building reveal the actual constellations in the sky.

When Clarence stepped off the ladder, he had no idea how much that would affect the rest of his day.

This is a few hundred feet in the air.  Maybe they should have just used a taller ladder ??

WHO knows why they chose a ladder to hang in mid air ?
