Believe it or not this building is the headquarters for the Municipal water company, the architect Jean nouvel used this as inspiration for his design, he wanted the building to resemble a geyser of water shooting out from of the ground. He accomplished this by giving it its unique shape which is often given other humorous names because of its phallic shape. We can see the multi colored façade that reflects light and resembles water. It stands out not only because of its shape and color, but also because of its dramatic juxtaposition with the other surrounding buildings in the background.
