Architectural grab bag building by Plaza Sotomayor, Valparaiso, Chile

This is not a strategically placed camera angle or optical illusion. The modern monolithic cube is actually fully contained and rises out of the classical facade below. Note how the windows of the stone facade match the modern reflective mirror windows above. Interesting architectural statement of, well, something.
