Structure
The building's architect Michael Graves said the inspiration for the structure was the Southwestern landscape.[6] Musician and Talking Heads leader David Byrne, commented that “This very out of place structure somehow lingers, like a fart left by someone no longer in an elevator.” [3] The brick exterior, which consists of 537,000 closure brick, 31,400 blue structural glazed tile, and 90,000 modular accent brick has been called a masonry masterpiece by the Mason Contractors Association of America.
