Instead of jumping to defensiveness, maybe you should have considered that my post was not even a critique on this building but rather a genuine curiosity.
Given that spandrel is usually used to hide structural beams or concrete or columns, it seems odd that they would put a small window directly beside an expanse of spandrel, only to place a column BLOCKING it. It's potentially a critique/criticism, but that depends on the rationale behind this detail I've pointed out. I may be seeing things wrong or perhaps there is a good reason the architect did what they did with that detail.
If someone knows the layouts/floorplans for this section of the building (I can't find any!), it might help explain. For example, maybe the kitchen is behind the spandrel on that north-facing section and so the architects wanted some light penetration from a window beside the kitchen. That would explain half the story, but I still wonder why that column had to be right there in front of that one small window.
