continuous

The Berlaymont, the building where the European Commissioners and their staff have their offices. This building was under a huge plastic sheet for a decade while people took each other to court and defaulted on contracts and generally pissed each other off. Now it stands there, huge and enigmatic and anonymous, towering over the Council building on the other side of the Rond-Point Schumann.

 

This said "continuous" to me because of the rows and rows of tiny rectangles going on around that curve, and because of the feeling that the more things change in the Commission, the more they stay the same.
