Civil Government Delegation, by Alejandro de la Sota, 1957 -  in Tarragona, Spain

The modernity of this mid-century design is evident in its rejection of the more typical monumental symmetrical neoclassical style used in civic structures. 

While the main elevation is opaque with glazed areas the symmetry and asymmetry set up a striking tension and balance. The displacement and size of the recessed areas (patio openings) may signal hierarchical differences since the largest opening is on the top/governor’s floor.
