I had mixed feelings about the building. On the positive, I appreciated his efforts to create a mixed-use city on itself, a concept very ahead of its time. I applaud his daring decision to keep the concrete exposed, and I enjoyed experiencing how the interiors receive beautiful shadows from the brise-soleil. But aside from that I felt that the building emanated an eerie sadness. It felt cold to another level! I actually felt glad that only 1 building ended up being constructed out of the 3 originally planned.
Nevertheless, the visit was a great learning experience, and it was fun snapping photographs of its playful primary colors and shapes.
