The Bad Bulge
There is nothing I hate more than buildings that have curves like this tower proposed by Rafael Viñoly for London:
Or buildings that bulge like this recently completed apartment in Almere, Netherlands—OMA designed it:
Buildings are not bodies. Buildings should not look biological. Buildings should be inhuman, inorganic. And besides, living in an apartment that bulges is like living in a stomach or a womb, both of which are gross.
I fully agree! London's poor, poor skyline. They've already got a few buildings with way too much "pizzazz" for their own good. Like Wang Tower, which is apparently a really cool, eco-friendly building, but bears an uncanny resemblence to my stubby l'il lovemuscle.
I don't want to live in a womb, either.
This building looks like an EMP in the sky and should never occur anyplace outside of a theme park.
