Did the architect make the base of the building as uninviting and fortress-like as possible as some sort of commentary on the moderately wealthy isolating themselves from the city in which they were living, or was it just a terrible lack of talent or empathy?
Probably the architect did not have the courage or chutzpah to make several floors of garage an architectural feature rather than a regrettable necessity.
