Image description: 
The building's east facade as a contemporary variation on a portico: structural steel columns support a wide roof canopy that accommodates a series of indoor/outdoor "pods" made of perforated steel. The seven pods, four on the first floor, three on the second, appear to float against the building's masonry and copper facade like a series of boxy, industrial porches.
