This is a follow on from yesterdays rant about the state of buildings in Aberdeen. I thought long and hard about whether I should actually publish this photo (horses head on the pillow, ostracised by the local RIAS chapter, "you'll never work in this town") But I concluded that this building was just too awful to keep to myself. (and nobody reads my blog anyway so I'm pretty safe)
I did ask some acquaintances in London, Manchester, Edinburgh and Glasgow whether they knew of a worse building in their respective cities and nobody has thus far come up with a less delightful specimen. If by some miracle someone actually reads this and knows of a bigger monstrosity, please feel free to send it my way.

Just finished a short presentation this morning on LIDS and the appropriate usage of such items - see Kilner jar, Coffee cup etc - and noted the proliferation of lids / hats in current buildings in Aberdeen - name no names but basically crass and cheap solutions - creating alien detailing that is not worthy of our city. We can only hope that as more design architects have the opportunity to build - this type of building - and its multi lids - is blown up /demolished etc...... and in web speak LoL IMHO Lids are pish.
It was all very grown up until the last line - Very good, I agree - Pish indeed
It is about time there was a platform for speaking out about this type of building(I hesitate to call it architecture)
This is a bit harsh and I worry about ever ending up on it!
