Video about the building

I learned that the hyperboloid on the roof of the palace is based upon a cow's horn and the nuclear reactor of a thermal power plant. I believe this was Le corbusier's attempt at mixing something old with something new. I also observed that through a combination of the use of textures and vivid colors, certain sections of the building pop out much more than other sections.
