The EMC building is a skillful composition of line, curve, and angle, with each
form clearly expressed in juxtaposition to an adjacent section. At the top of
the north wall is an abrupt 45 degree angled roof section not merely sliced
straight across its apex, but topped with a curved band of windows on the
southern elevation.
The expressive forms encapsulate current modern

entire next century.
