Architecture for the Sun

Nancy Holt’s Sun Tunnels places four enormous concrete cylinders in Utah’s Great Basin Desert. The work turns sunlight, landscape and the movement of the earth into part of its structure. I like that the tunnels are massive yet their real material may be something untouchable: where light lands at a particular moment. Architecture usually gives us shelter from nature. Here it is built to notice nature more precisely.
