One of the world's greatest buildings......The top of the dome is 33 stories tall. It looks like a three story building. The sense of scale is amazing. Look at the size of the people. They are not even as tall as the base of the columns.
I am getting ready to develop a new retail center and am going with an architect who specializes in the 'Sarasota School of Architecture' style. This style is actually quite famous in architectural circles. It emphasizes minimalist design. The use of common materials combined with an extremely functional design is the trademark. Paul Rudolph is generally credited with originating the style. He studied and taught at Yale and influenced I.M.Pei.
