Financial Times correspondents nominate buildings they’d like demolished.
Come the glorious day when I am made God of Everything, my first job will be to order the demolition of Stamford Bridge, all tax offices, and the local Indian takeaway that once gave me Delhi Belly so bad that I was willing (happy, even) to choose death rather than another hour in the toilet.
Which is probably why I never made it as a correspondent for the Financial Times.
When asked to come up with a list of the buildings they’d most like to see demolished, they set aside personal vendettas and concentrated more upon the aesthetic appeal (or lack thereof) of some of the world’s most famous (infamous) structures.
Among those earmarked for the wrecking ball when the pink pages take over the world are the Walkie Talkie building in London, the replica of the Temple of Solomon in Sao Paulo, France’s Centre Georges Pompidou, and Manchester’s monument to capitalism, the Trafford Centre.
Check out the full list here.
And please, let us know which buildings you’d like to see demolished.
