What's this building? I suspect this might be a crime against architecture as a field.

It really isn't.

It's the Antwerp Port Authority in Antwerp, Belgium. Designed by Zaha Hadid. Pretty cool.>!!<

I saw several such hybrid old/new building combinations in Flemish cities. And they usually manage to pull it off.

Another example I liked is the STAM, the Ghent city museum. They also host a nice yearly jazz festival in the courtyard of that one.

Another similar building is the Bundeswehr Military History Museum in Dresden, Germany
