Original Caption: "Design of this ultra-modern building was an achitect's dream; but a contractor's nightmare. The acre-sized thin-shelled sculptured roof created fantastic problems in forming and shoring. It demanded round-the-clock continuous pours with the most precise control of machines, materials and men."

Not used in Technology Review, filed July 21 1961.
