The tall one, designed by Pietro Belluschi and fondly known around here as Big Pink, is one of the few examples of Modern architecture that I really like, because of the way it uses its site and the local climate to bring it alive. It does the most interesting things with what light we have (and it's actually rather nice inside, too). It's not actually square, but a parallelogram, so that from some angles it looks like a two-dimensional cutout of a building against the sky.
Anyway (hee! How I do go on!), thanks. Alien buildings from the future. I love it. It's like something out of Fringe!
