Was reading about that a bit back. Apparently the reflection from the sun off one side of the building nukes a building not far away from it for 2 hrs a day at certain times of the year making it unbearably hot and extreme UV’s. Another building below one side says the wind deflects off the concaved plane in a cyclonic effect and keeps blowing bits off it.
Sounds like a cunt of a building.

    Thought that had been corrected not long after it was built?

        If films were a dance genre, then Heat would be muscular prog. Great film and a great supporting performance from Sizemore. Especial in that diner scene. RIP

            In 2005, he went back to jail for violating his probation by failing a drug test, after being caught trying to use a prosthetic penis to fake the results. According to prosecutors, Sizemore had been caught once before trying to use a similar device.

            Ledge!

            Homegrove Hadn’t realised he was the guy in heat who gave the eyes. Great scene.

                Mad_Cyril it was fitted with shading a year later, but it’s still the ugliest large building in London and completely ruins both views of the City and the atmosphere walking around the old streets in the Bank/Fenchurch Street area looming over everything.

                  The views from Duck and Waffle are sensational.

                    I only heard about it 2nd hand about 6 months ago but was told it has to be sorted straight after it was detected.

                    Was wondering if I’d heard one of those modern fables!

                      Wouldn’t surprise me if it turned out that Derm and Hans Christian Andersen were friends.

                      Duck and Waffle is in Heron Tower, which is a completely different skyscraper designed by different architects - what’s the point you’re trying to make?!

                          hugopal I think he’s saying that the views from the Heron Tower are sensational. Given that you had said the Walkie Talkie building was ugly, he’s merely offering his opinion on a good skyscraper

                            benson yeah that was Tom Sizemore in that film starring Tom Sizemore and featuring said scene, featuring Tom Sizemore.

                              He was disguised in Heat as Tom Sizemore.
                              Probably because it’s arguably one of his best roles it just didn’t click. Edwand and Ben’s proving Oxford degrees may as well be off the back of a coco pops packet.
