The lobby, and especially its light-structured glass ceiling,
are subservient to the exterior form of the building. As one
enters the space, they are given a view of the copper-clad
wall above, reiterating its effect. Ruy Ohtake has possibly
created for São Paolo what Frank
Gehry created for Bilbao; a striking building to attract tourists
to an underappreciated city, though this time visitors can
spend the night in the architecture.
