It definitely brings the image of a UFO landing to my mind. Great composition emphasizing all its geometrical aspects. ~BV~

Fabulous futuristic architecture and artwork. V

A wonderful building and great that such impractical things are still built. If you remove the legs it definitely reminds me of the TV 'Lost in Space' space craft.
