In 1938, Katherine Blodgett was awarded the patent for non-reflecting glass, a discovery that has since been used to de-ice aircraft wings and increase the effectiveness of smoke screens.

The galleries will be situated within walls of painted, waxed concrete (one of Mr Ando's favourite materials) and enveloped in glass, through which visitors can view the site's landscaped grounds and reflecting pond.
