- DESCRIPTION: The Einstein Tower is considered the best piece of expressionist architecture, and was designed to house a solar telescope to prove Albert Einstein´s relativity theory. The building was conceived originally in concrete but at the end it was built with brick walls and stucco. Asked his opinion about the building, Einstein only stated one word: “organic”.
