Ironically it is far better proportioned and detailed than the majority of the contemporary corporate blocks. You can see much of the defining vertical and horizontal elements in this brutalist piece, such as the streamlined colonnades at the base and the line up tri quadglyphs on the upper level. Its gigantic scale however drowns everything out and its design makes it unable to create any sort of urban context. But compare it to a
typical corporate block that are build daily today, and you’ll have to agree that the designers of the brutalist structures were like Michelangelo when compared to those poor blokes that have to shit these sleaze contemporary towers for the developers and their marketing departments.
