I was intrigued by the repetition of the building's windows, enhanced by their unusual perspective. The architecture of such a building reflects upon its environment, both figuratively and literally.
The windows of a city building are at once identical and unique. In their form they are indistinguishable from each other, yet their reflections of what is outside -- and inside -- may be infinitely varied. The inhabitants too are individuals yet from the outside are indistinguishable.
We can see our domain in microcosm in how such a building fits in its environment. Has concrete and glass replaced leaf and sky, or does nature still exist in the city, barely peripheral to our field of vision?
