But since the 2006 restoration, one of the spheres is Brussels’ Skew covered by an irregular hexagon and trapezium- shaped rectangles, while an axis is off center; more- Sphere over, the whole structure now blinks like a dented casserole.

As it was a temporary building for the 1958 World’s Fair, it is not surprising that after a while it had to where the famous conjecture was made, the desk where be restored, which happened from 2004 to 2006.
