Lonely Planet review

Is this top-heavy tower the headquarters of some superhero's archnemesis, a postmodern prison block or a watchtower for companies paranoid about corporate espionage? Studio BBPR's signature tower with a bigger, medieval-style block grafted on top was finished in 1958, and almost half a century later, it's still fascinatingly sinister.
