Interesting building with an interesting name. The building in front to the right – are those holes where the drains come out? 🤔 — My architectural geometry is of a different kind: https://picturesimperfectblog.com/2026/09/20/luneburg-the-not-always-straightlaced-north/

Hi Debbie, I really enjoyed your choice of photo and you had me looking up toilet bowl architecture. I had some fun rabbit trails looking at the New York City and Poland stuff. Then I remembered an Anthony Bourdain episode where he talked about how he just did not like a lot of the buildings in Toronto. And that led me to this :
“Brutalist buildings are known for … the bare building materials and structural elements over decor design”
So thanks for a great photo as well as all these extra this morning. I hope you have a great week.

Well, those (presumably brutalist) buildings whilst geometric are rather ugly and uninviting! Here’s my take on the prompt: https://suejudd.com/2026/09/20/geometry-2/

The geometrical pattern makes this brutalist architecture look interesting.

Those buildings are not very inviting, are they? I like what you did with the “blue” entries. Hope your weekend is going well.

I’ll try to keep I going.
And, Janet, I’m really enjoying your exploration and discovery of Japan.
