When I was a kid I used to drive by the Pirelli building all the time and dreading that I might have to go to work in a big, beige building like that one day. I never liked buildings like that until somehow it just clicked for me in my late twenties. Now I think brutalism and similar styles are wonderful.

Anyway, maybe I’m just a weirdo, but it was actually surprisingly pleasant in there: clean and calm with friendly, easy going staff. I kind of regret getting excused a little bit.
