Carbuncular

BD's annual Carbuncle Cup causes more discussion about architecture in our office than anythihg else. We don't half love a bit of controversy - who wants to hear about the smug success of the Stirling? Or the Lubetkin? No, we want savagery.
But why do it then, when it's built, inflicted upon the face of a much loved friend?
The Bezier Bum at Old Street was a worth contender this year, with most of the contention coming under whether something could actually "blight" Old Street roundabout. But these architects didn't seem to raise so much as a whisper when it was in for planning. As far as I am aware, only Anthony Thistleton of Waugh Thistleton has been fighing Squire's Flip Top Bin on the Foundary site.
