Architectural detail like this is rarely seen in modern architecture. Let's look a bit closer.

The domes are made in sections.

The holes in the hexagonal section at the top are truncated cones.

The supporting sides or "butresses" are trapezoidal prisms.

Rectangles adorn the entire building, even though the building itself is NOT made of rectangular solids.

The arches are used to give a bit of visual height and rest from all the rectangles.

Question: "Are any of those windows?"
