Yeah, Mies liked to "express" structure, and show the beams and columns. Building codes required the columns to be fireproofed (encased in concrete in this case), so he just glued some decorative ones on the outside. I'm being slightly flippant; it really is an elegant detail.

Since this is nominally a porn board, the one about Mrs. Farnsworth comes to mind.
 
I love seeing anything that shows talent like this. . . nice Kotori.

Nice thread, but I am slightly disturbed that you are referring to yourself in the 3rd person.
It's my "persona"...
