Now to describe the building and the experience getting there: the building is surreal. Sublime. Ironic. While getting there was an adventure in train schedules, bus stops and hitch-hiking. The sailing concrete forms were definitely unlike anything I have seen before or since. Well worth the trouble to visit in one’s lifetime.
