July 1971. The base structure is octagonal. The central portion of the building, between the front wings, is carried up through telescopic narrowings to an octagonal drum, supporting a crown of polychrome terra-cotta tiles, surmounted by a step-faceted glass dome. The octagonal tower seems to be in the process of thrusting itself upward, as though it were alive and growing.
