Interesting, I never thought of it as a piano effect until you mentioned it. I like the dynamic and asymitric shape of this building as it looks quite different from different angles.

This is funny, but this morning i am with the people who love these white horizontal stripes

I like the "piano cladding" but I really don't like the top.

There are not many pictures of the various towers that come with the one above (although you can see some in the background ^) and if you want to find out more about them u can go here:
