For a sense of scale, that table is roughly 10 feet tall.

The way that things are laid out within the shot. The subject matter is the chairs, and the ceiling/walls form a natural line that guide your eyes to the table and chairs. The roof/walls arent just supporting cast though either as the texture/pattern they create is really effective on its own.
I'm not sure this would be considered modernism. This architect (Calatrava) is more often called a "Neo futurist". There is an emerging movement that I personaly think he fits very well into, called parametricism. If you like Calatrava you might also really like Zaha Hadid, she also employs a lot of white smooth materials like this.
I've driven by and been in a museum called the Rachofsky House which is in Dallas which has similar artwork and is very modern.
I like art museums, I wish I could live in one, especially if it had glass walls, unusual works, and was overlooking either the ocean or a prairie.

Yeah! If I recall in the early 1980s a fellow created a Museum display that had a series of home furnishings created on the scale from the point of view of a two year old "Toddler." The oversized chairs and table with the shadowy figures in the modern Museum setting has a sort of "Dream Like" quality. Nicely composed too.
Ah, thank you! I mostly just used the tables and chairs for a reference to keep the photo 'straight', considering there were very few lines at all to gauge evenness by. The fact that there were people there merely made it a more interesting photo in my eyes, seeing as my main focus was more the vaulting of the ceiling and the way the shadows played across the surfaces.
