Guests with rooms facing west gaze out on a beach with sand the consistency of powdered sugar...
...geraniums surround a penthouse cafeteria atop the pile. "They are a little like the hanging gardens of Babylon," says Rudolph. "Basically it is a village on top of a huge box." Function is served by the multilevel construction, since pharmaceuticals are manufactured by gravity-flow pipes and chutes that blend drugs, liquids or tablets. "It may seem too pretentious," says Rudolph, "but the building does not attempt to bury the flaws...
