Although shocking
and daring, the building's design is relatively simple
and straightforward. A two-story box, housing studios and
offices, is raised above a triple-height entry that reuses
an old, yet fairly nondescript, existing building. The painted
steel, tapered-tube structure leans out to accommodate this
lower part, the concrete core and a service incline the only
other parts of the composition. So the design is made up of
five parts, though their relationship to each other and the
norm is what gives the building its shock value.
