looks like there will be plenty of good corner offices.
That's beautiful!
that center plaza thing looks *exactly* like a place in the alhambra, right?
I don't know about the Alhambra, but the famous "pi=3" line from the Bible is describing this very thing. 2 Chronicles 4:2-4 2 Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and five cubits the height thereof; and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about. 3 And under it was the similitude of oxen, which did compass it round about: ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about. Two rows of oxen were cast, when it was cast. 4 It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.
