Few days ago, I was walking along the street and I pass by this building and it looks different.. I was try to think of a word to describe about the building what and how.. Can anyone please tell me anything about this building or what do you think, any example of any buildings or architectures doing this sort of stuff.. by the way, is the modern or postmodern? looks like it's both for me.. what do you think? Sorry about my english, I'm just not good on this typing stuff.. thank you    Filesize:  108.71 KB  Filename:  southwark street 2.jpg  Viewed:  36 Time(s)    Filesize:  89.49 KB  Filename:  southwark street1.jpg  Viewed:  35 Time(s)

I expect anything of delight was value-engineered out before construction started. It seems 76-80 Southwark Street it is the HQ of a marketing company and looks to me like a fairly conventional concrete-framed office building with a few crazy angles and some garish coloured window frames. There seems to be a homage to the in-vogue deconstructivism and wobbly buildings of Liebskind or Gehry, but only on a very superficial level.
