A fine example of modern architecture and innovative design.

One end is bulbous and rounded; the rest sticks out in a long straight line...

...innovative? Spara, it looks like balls and a cock.

Still, it's probably the most innovative thing appearing on this blog.

Comment moderation in action, ladies and gentlemen.

Seriously, Spara, why do you bother?

This is a rather superficial and crudely put analysis. The building utilises a glass-fronted globular frontage to make innovative use of light while the whole shape blends perfectly into its natural setting.

The shape doesn't blend perfectly into the background or else its phallic connotations would not be thrown into such high relief!

Crude anonymous may be, but they're also refreshingly honest. If there's anyone "superficial" in their analysis, it's you.

The phallic connotations are minor and serve to emphasise the dynamism of the building

Sparacus likes building shaped like genitalia.

"Setting the standards"?

Disgusting.
