Classical Office Building Revival

I have a little pocket book called "The Observers Guide to Architecture" Its a beautiful little book meant to help people interpret and understand the architectural elements they see while out and about.  I decided to turn to my book to help me interpret this building since it appears to have classical elements.  According to my little book the windows in the tower portion are reminiscent of the Early English Period whereby, and I quote :  "The desirability of making some sort of hood to prevent driving rain from running down the face of the building into the window was realized, and this gave the builders the idea of coupling the groups of windows together and finally of punching holes through the blank spaces left between the hood mouldings and the lancets."  It would seem that the modern interpretation of this notion is to NOT EVEN PUNCH the openings! Genius - by not having openings in the wall and leaving them all bricked up the architect has successfully avoided the problem of rain entering the building.  Who builds this Shit?
