I'd love to. Could you supply a URL, or even some slightly more specific
information?

I had a trawl on the web, and the first one that came up was this:

* *http://www.galinsky.com/buildings/vitrafire/index.htm

....which says that the building was attractive and functionally
successful, before being made obsolete by changes to the way in which
fire provision worked in the district, and now has been repurposed
into a museum. That suggests that Hadid did a pretty good job...
