Blog 7 – Government Building – Carme Pinós

I could not find an official name for this building, but everywhere I could find an image of it referred to it as a government building. Carme makes some pretty insane decisions with this building, but boy did they pay off. The extreme contrast of a simple black and white building in an urban setting is very satisfying to me. Carme continues her use of straight lines and interesting window placement with this building. The way Carme incorporated such sharp lines together to create buildings like this just blows my mind. Working in a Carme building would be a  joy every single day.
