Graduated

This is the building I photographed earlier with a giant globe on the premises. I wanted a head-on capture, but could only get it driving by, when I was almost on top of it. I couldn’t understand why it looked more distorted than usual, when I realized that in fact the various sections of the building are graduated in height.

Another view of the building in the main picture and its globe, posted earlier:

Each and every one of these buildings are so well documented by you in their seemingly endless futuristic creativity!

one of the simpler and, to my mind therefore better, building forms
