Many of the courses have not moved over yet, which explains its emptiness. As described, it is a blank canvas of sorts. In time we will begin to own the building and the character will develop (I hope).

Would be a great space for a museum but honestly, working in it is impossible. A third of the building is an empty space. It couldn't be colder during the winter - this huge empty space is impossible to warm up. I could honestly spend an hour to pin up all the bad points of this building. The only good thing is the wow effect that is produced when you see it for the first time, but spend one year in it, try to work there and you'll see this is just a short wow effect.

Simple and creative architecture. I should say that if you want to build any art institution then this is the best example for that. Simple and creative architecture.
