The angle of the opening between the concrete blocks in the Sun Road project is in line with the solar altitude on the equinoxes. This creates a negative space where no shadow is cast along the Sun's path during those days.

Diagram of the Bluff Twins project. The axes of the wall are in line with the Bluff great house, an Ancestral Puebloan structure on the hill to the north west, and Choco Canyon in the distant south east. The opening in the wall frames twin rocks on the north side, and twin arches on the south side.
