Italian translation: tetto dei palazzi

Architecture
English term or phrase: mansion roof
[Contesto: una persona racconta di quando è arrivato al centro George Pompidou a Parigi]

Coming into the plaza surrounding the center and to see the stark contrast between the traditional French style, of **mansion roofs**, small windows and sort of row housing if you will.
And then to see this large, almost machine like building sort of spilling its guts out into the world.
