We are accustomed to the fact that buildings like City Hall - it's boring offices, which sit in boring bureaucrats and do boring paperwork. Outside such buildings generally resemble huge stone or glass boxes in which to greater effect sometimes arrange some stone portal, so that a visitor from the entrance felt awe before the majesty of gradonachalstva. And then - some nedorazrezanny watermelon glass!
Critics wrote that the mayor of Greater London Ken Livingstone wanted this building to say that the municipal work - not dead, but a living thing, and that he is no stranger to the propensity of originality and humor.
