Building with gigantic globe

I never found out what this building was, but it was beautiful, from the front as well, which I naturally couldn’t get a good picture of from the car. It had a gigantic globe on its premises (pictured below). Definitely don’t know what that was all about!

The gigantic globe on the premises, posted earlier:

Beautiful.
Your photos of these buildings always makes me wonder what they look like inside.

Reminds me of the UN a little only much more attractive. V

Love the geometry of this building and the subtle differences in color. V

Marvelous building but not sure if the globe part works well with the strong lines of the main structure. But what do I know? Vote.
