just learned about a building in london that is so poorly designed it becomes a death ray that melts cars and creates a downdraft effect with wind so powerful that it knocks full grown adults to the ground
imagine being knocked over by a gust of wind from this ugly ass building and then being cooked TO DEATH by the sun reflection like what a way to go
i learned about this like last year or somethign and this building is literally th satan come alive. building that tries to fucking kill you and fry you like an egg
this is some shit out of a final destination movie
I knew about the death ray, but the draft is new to me
@whenwinterfell i support him in his evil quest to build his giant magnifying glass in order to fry brits and americans like they’re ants
his name is rafael viñoly and here are some extremely funny things he said about it. regrets? none.
“phenomenal” indeed
what!!!!

I am sharing this with you all under the deep suspicion that this Viñoly character is none other than our beloved Bloody Stupid Johnson (or at the very least descended from or trained by him.)
Bergholt Stuttley (’Bloody Stupid’) Johnson was Ankh-Morpork’s most famous, or rather most notorious, inventor. He was reknowned for never letting his number-blindness, his lack of any skill whatsoever, or his complete failure to grasp the essence of a problem stand in the way of his cheerful progress as the first counter-renaissance man. Shortly after building the famous Collapsed Tower of Quirm he turned his attention to the world of music, particularly large organs and mechanical orchestras. Examples of his handiwork still occasionally come to light in sales, auctions and, quite frequently, wreckage.
