However, once the building was completed in 1999, its curious crooked shape received a great deal of critical acclaim. The glittering, subtly curved massive tower shots out towards the Berlin sky, inspiring utter awe in passers-by. The concave Western facade is covered with multi-coloured sun blinds, which in the afternoon sun transform the tower into a colour orgy of pink and apricot.
