"The design of the UCB Center in the form of a semicircle is simple and luminous; two curved wings connected by a raised glass walkway enclose the granite foundation. Combining the modernity of a curtain wall with the perennial appeal of stone, this sober style of architecture is free of borrowed decorative effects." "Designed by the architectural firm Assar and built on the urban periphery of Brussels, the building reflects the image of the company that occupies it - UCB, the Belgian pharmaceutical and chemical company whose future and outlook are closely tied to international markets." "UCB Center by Assar tells the story of the building and its conception with detailed sketches and photographic illustrations. The text includes the professional viewpoint of the architects involved, as well as the opinions of the client as construction proceeded."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
