Wikipedia tells us:
The building exemplifies his use of color, light, shadows, and water. The violet colors change from light blues to dark purples, depending on the shadows, time of year, and angle of the sun through what seem to be stragetically placed windows. This building (and the nearby
Tech Museum by Legorreta) give the City of San Jose two world-class structures of significant architectural importance.
