Rather than feeling embarrassed , the designer of the “ Walkie Talkie ” skyscraper at 20 Fenchurch street , London , seems completely light-minded and amused by his car- and human - melting edifice . assure out this quote from an interview with The Guardian :
“ When it was spotted on a second design looping , we judge the temperature was going to be about 96.8 F ( 36 C ) . But it ’s turned out to be more like 161.6 F ( 72 C. ) They are calling it the ‘ dying ray ’ , because if you go there you might kick the bucket . It is phenomenal , this thing . ”
How clean is that ? ‘ The decease ray I made , it ’s phenomenal ! Huh ? ’ He then tote up that he “ fuck this was going to bump . ” Which is phenomenal too , because it ’s utterly lawful : He had the same experience with hisfirst citizenry - burning hotel in Las Vegas .
This guy wire is not an architect . He ’s a frustrated supervillain .
