The building as we inhabit presents itself as a technically complex yet soulfully intimate object. The most romantic location in a building, a place where crime and passions take place, a route for escape and surprise, the very core of the building, mind the pun. Introvert as it may behave, this particular example lends itself a close connection to the city that it belongs to, claiming ownership of the city, as much as the city claims ownership of it. It seems uncanny how the human then returns to the scene, in a fleeting glance, against the permanence of the building.
