At first glance it looks like the Commonwealth Bank.

Had a mate from Kamala work on that building. He was incharge of supervising the plumbing. Had plenty of problems building to Australian standards with the workforce provided. It did give him a couple of years in BKK though.

That looks like something out of the old Soviet block.

It does kind of remind me of a poor man's "Frank Gehry Brown Paper Bag Building" in Sydney which is a part of the UTS Campus...only much less interesting

Are all designers engineers, or need to be?

 

[bacwaan]

^ Nope....every building/interior I ever designed was signed off by an engineer...as a designer you'd be crazy to accept responsibilty for the structural soundness of a building...leave that to the engineering experts...and ask them to leave the design up to you...555

Sorry but to me the website description is just a big wank and you'd have to be having a LSD flashback to connect the description to reality.
But I've never been the arty-farty type.
