For this reason, at street level the building is quite modest blending with the traditional surroundings. On the other hand, from the river side it is a spectacular monument.
The design of the building was possible due to state-of-the-art 3D computer program. Computer simulations of the building's structure made it possible to create shapes impossible to construct by architects of earlier times.
