Kahn is a great architect but this build seems to me a pretty bunker or the figure from a medieval castle of reinforced concrete.

Insanity. In a good way. It has to be amazingly impressive to walk around that place. It feels like you're in a totally different world. 9/10

Nice. very unique architecture. should have been bigger & more spacious. interiors look clastrophobic at times.
