What I can see

This building is an example of post-war modernism and is considered quite successful because although it is an angular building, it faces the White Tower and there is a hollow section at its corner that – in combination with the curve of the first floor – indicates a mood of “dialogue” between modernism and the architectural heritage of the city. The negative elements include the ornate decoration in several parts of the building, which detracts from the unity of the whole.

What I can't see

At that time, architects were trying to introduce new trends in architecture, with a slight delay in comparison with the rest of the western world.
