    What an eyesore. Who would want a giant teapot handle destroying a beautiful landscape. Just an example of “edgy” designers of today making a name for themselves by making hideous architectural abominations that waste material and don’t fit in with their surroundings rather than something truly revolutionary.

    I wonder how many birds fly into it each year.

    Doesn’t look very safe… maybe I’m just weird about heights.
