WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS BUILDING?

HINT: It is an Annual Event providing Global Recognition

Looks like an institution style. Like a Hospital. I like the stone curves and sidewalks in Norway. So much cheaper and greener than concrete. Last longer too. Plus no large machinery need to remove or put in. Tiananmen Square is also did with stone pavers. If a tank breaks one which is rare, a person with a cart can fix it by themselves.

A lot of money with minimal warmth or excitement.

Steve, you're a man with taste and intelligence. But this building makes me think of Albert Speer's work. Or some incinerators in Manhattan.??

Honestly I was a bit perplexed also, I had some thoughts about the building and then the tour guide called it a "Brutalist" structure, and I was like...interesting??

My thought too.
