It was being built for The Emperor Justinian in Constantinople by the architect Anthemius of Tralles. This is the time of Byzantine Art.

I know it's just an office building. But the sweeping exterior shape is inspirational when you are standing at the base, and there is a big red 9 out in front that seems inexplicable. I like it. What can I say? en.wikipedia.org
