Of note is how in the "before" image, the outer row of columns disappears into the light because of the illuminance differential - increasing the reflectance of columns will decrease the amount of illuminance differential needed for the columns to start to appear ephemeral. As shown in the "after" image, with the application of reflective mylar to the column faces, the emphasis of the space will shift from the verticals of the columns to reflected horizontal delineations, creating a more expansive feeling to the space. Finally, more daylight will be reflected into the space.
