(It’s a famous ~50 yo building that looks like that on purpose)
Ok first of all France isn’t even real
Can’t believe they named it like the first caricature name someone would think of a french
I like the concept of putting all the important maintenance shit on the outside. Feels like it’d be easier to fix stuff when it breaks
Would suck if something breaks while it is raining though.
IIRC it’s not maintenance stuff is just greeble
I do love a good greeble, this building has huge Cities Skylines energy.
I read that it was functional mechanical stuff in the wiki link cogitase posted. At least it makes it sound like it’s functional mechanical stuff, down under the architecture/design section
Maintenance is even more expensive because all that stuff’s now exposed to the weather 24/7. The Lloyd’s Building in London was designed with similar design principles and it was almost vacated because of the maintenance costs

I said easier not cheaper
