Foster and Partner rarely does work like this - things that aren't out of the sleek minimalist post-modernist realm. So it's really interesting to see how they integrate Moroccan culture into the design of this bank. I really love Muslim mosaics, and though this is not as colourful as those or the souks of Morocco, its tasteful restraint makes up for that.


Oh and yes, happy April Fools' to everyone
