[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

The building also incorporates shops including an architectural bookshop, a rooftop gallery, educational facilities, a hotel that is open to the public, and a restaurant, "Le Ventre de l'Architecte" ("The Belly of the Architect").

It was a huge trend after the war for a variety of economic and ideological reasons.
