“Inscribed in the skyline, the tower does not seek to perturb or to impose itself through bizarre or brash forms. It seeks to give the impression of being at home here, a source of delight in the city, a strengthening of the character traits that create singularity and distinction. In short, it seeks to seduce. And everyone knows that seduction is linked to mystery, and that in mystery there is secret, questions without obvious answers…Why?”
