Not exactly design or engineering driven, but rather deep integration with surrounding world and driving it further. I believe it was the first case of conscious use of anatomy patterns in Western architecture - along with famous rope/gravity models (La Sagrada, Parc Guell). Quite an interesting feeling of being outside of time or “style” – especially if you are on the trip between design obsessed Rome to engineering approach of the North.
