A reception was held in the Salt Building for Prince Charles and Lady Camilla on Saturday November 7th as part of their tour of the Olympic Village and Vancouver.

The "White Bulding" features, without a doubt, the most beautiful pieces of architectural lighting I have ever seen. Here one of the Olympic Village's founding architectural principles, that of external staircases that act as "vertical streets", has yielded genuine pieces of art.
