Granted everyone have their own oppinions and different eyes of beauty, this building is Mario Botta's work

He is one of famous modern architect in the world.
The most famous of his work is SFMoMA(SAN FRANCISCO Museum of Modern Art)
He has changed 17time its design to built this building
He has put so much efforts to finish this work.
He usually prefer canton, but it is first attempt using brick style(actually, it is not brick,just looks like brick)

There are arguments if this building is beautifuly unque or simply ugly even here in korea.
But I found that outside of this building is strict whereas inside of this bulding is soft.(I have seen this building with my real eyes, not photos)
Acutually, this building looks more like museum than office(It also has art museum)
That is why I comment unique.(OK, It is just my oppinion)
If any of you really think this building is nothing special, put the blame on him.

Lastly, I don't think only Holland is home of many unique skyscapers.(But I like Holland. Please, don't get me wrong!)
Every country have beautiful ones and ugly ones, just more or less.

Many thanks for everybody's replies whether it is positive or not
Please, forgive me if it sounded offensive or cynical.
I greatly appreciate your interest.

They have that Berjaya Times Square in KL going on. The view of their sides also have their own character. 8.5/10!
