There’s almost nothing indigenous about this other then it being white. These basic forms are right out of the Corbu
playbook dating back well over 60 years so it’s nothing new and you might as well throw this down in Australia, the U.S. Africa or what have you. I like the forms but they’re so over used that Architecture around the world is becoming homogenized just like everything else. How about something that cries out ESPANA!!!

I used to live in Spain and once again I like this building but it doesn’t send me laments of that region nor does it inspire other architects in that region to step out of their comfort zone to be creative and not pull out dated and overused forms. Like any ‘unique’ plant from any region around this planet they look unique because they’ve adapted to their environ (which in this case besides all of the physical forces there are also sociological and historical ones)……..show me Spain.
