The Dog Turd...

...in all its slendiferous(??) glory.

Now I am not against modern architecture, and think that in the 'right' place this would look good - but not here! I can't believe that someone didn't look at the first artist impressions and say "hang on doesn't that look like a pile of dogshit to you?"

Some choice quotes from here:-

"this shimmering pile is evidence that, despite all the Unesco World Heritage site protections, conservation group campaigns and lengthy planning negotiations, shit still happens."

"the Golden Turd Hotel Twitter account amasses photos of the structure posted by its followers, rejoicing in its having topped a poll last year for the worst building in the world."

"From afar, it may be a crime against the skyline – but up close, it’s a brutal assault on the street."

One could go on. But, at the end of the day, a pile of shit is a pile of shit, oh, did I mention that it's a pile of shit?
