it looked considerably better in the concept stage:

The base is better, but it still looks bad. Rotten from inception.

Sometimes public-opinion changes around intrusive sculptures/buildings like this. I'd bet a lot of people thought the London Eye looked crass and stupid, but it's kind-of universally appreciated now. Same with the Gherkin. I don't think I ever cared, but everyone seems to have gotten over it.

But that change of opinion won't happen with this. Every way you look at it, it's shit.

It's so fucking decadent; a big fuck you to the surrounding area. I love it.
