Wow! That is certainly eye-catching isn't it? I don't like it either: it's too big and too dramatic. It also breaks a cardinal rule of architecture, and of nature: form follows function. That's a good rule, imo, because it means that what you see indicates what it does: a leaf is typically thin and broad to catch sunlight, a trunk is a solid cylinder to act as a support.
Who can guess what is going on inside this building? ...but I suspect there are a lot of awkward, under-used spaces, especially in the bit on the left-hand side that is catching the sunlight in your photo.
