The Gateway, Beach Road


Well-known office building near Suntec City, designed by I. M. Pei ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gateway_(Singapore) ). There are two towers, which is what most photos show. I thought that this angle, showing only one tower from the side, would be more interesting.

Building plan is diamond-shaped, so it looks flat when viewed from some angles. You can see part of the "hidden" side of the building, on the right, which spoils the illusion a bit. This is the thin side of the building, which makes the building look slimmer than it is.
