Heliostate

To create a positive indoor environment for the 900 employees in the building, the designers of Genzyme Center employed a sophisticated system for bringing the daylight and outside air into the building.

Here are some of the building's seven heliostats. Made in Germany, these heliostats move during the day and reflect light into the atrium. The light is reflected from the moving heliostats to an array of stationary mirrors above the building's skylight.
