World's ugliest buildings - one at Elephant

haha.

BFLS can't be that ashamed of it, it's front and centre on their website.

Well, if you have a look a the rest.. :)

But I like the building, I just find the small unit next to the big razor a bit odd.

I quite like the Metro Central buildings.

BFLS don't show the razor full frontal though, thus disguising(?) the v.large wind turbines (that don't work?).

I was not that keen at first but have to admit i like it, and when driving down farringdon get the odd feeling..aahh nearly home. It reminds me sometimes of those great big ghetton blasters that teenagers used to carry around on their shoulders! wonder what the turbinbes would sound like if you lived on the top floor though?

I have often wonder the same about the top floor flats in the tower at Empire Square...surely there's a rather obvious glow from the light above them???

Does anyone ever say to themselves "I wonder what the atmospheric pressure is, must have a look at what colour the Empire Square barometer is displaying". It seems to have blended into the background after the initial novelty.

Precisely, Phoney. And even if they did want to know the pressure, are they likely to have memorised the colour-coding? Or be bothered enough to find out what the colour-coding is?

imho, it would have been better to have random colour changes, like the lights on the main road at the top of Redcross Way. At least that would have been decorative.

Does anyone know?

Seriously? Wouldn't that be a sensible thing to do? Anyways, Batman's cave (Starta) has quite grown on me in recent months. I qgree with Jan, I get the "almost home feeling" too. Then again, I also get that from the Shard although it always seems to take longer to get home once I've spotted it. But eh - where is the long standing winner of the worst architecture award - The Tower Hotel???

I think I once found an explanation what the different colours mean online - needless to say I forgot about it a few days later...
I keep wondering once in a blue moon what the colours stand for though...
