Reflection is quite an amazing phenomena. Taken for granted sometimes. Reflection (in these cases) takes into account only two types of materials, glass and stainless steel. With glass, reflection creates a new world. An alternate universe you can see, and alas you are part of it. So what is the importance?
Reflection reveals that immaterial to us. That which we see, being shown to us again through a medium. In the first image (Educatorium - Rem Koolhaas) The building becomes dematerialized by the glass. The reflection lightens up the building and the building itself becomes part of nature.
In the second image which is one of Donald Judd's cubes. Now as with the previous example, in this one the object almost disappears. The reflection dematerialized the object and it becomes nature.
Reflection allows reflection.
