They call it the Walkie talkie building. It also has a death ray LINK
Solar glare problem
During the building's construction, it was discovered that for a period of up to two hours each day if the sun shines directly onto the building, it acts as a concave mirror and focuses light onto the streets to the south.[19] Spot temperature readings at street-level including up to 91 °C (196 °F)[20] and 117 °C (243 °F) were observed[21] during summer 2013, when the reflection of a beam of light up to six times brighter than direct sunlight shining onto the streets beneath damaged parked vehicles, including one on Eastcheap whose owner was paid £946 by the developers for repairs to melted bodywork. Temperatures in direct line with the reflection became so intense that a reporter for the newspaper City A.M. was able to fry an egg in a pan set out on the ground.[22] The reflection also burned or scorched the doormat of a shop in the affected area. The media responded by dubbing the building the "Walkie-Scorchie"[23][24][25] and "Fryscraper".[19][26][27]

That red building (CNA) in downtown Chicago that puts Seattle ahead of Chicago for 2nd best skyline in the US imo.

this building ruined the skyline of Barcelona

Middleton is the most misplaced building ever.. Well, maybe not ever, but you know what I mean.. And it sucks. Nothing like going study on the 3rd floor in one of those wooden desk that has old gum stuck all around it.

if the 911 terrorists would have hit that instead(assuming that all of those leeches would have been at work,) think of the immediate upswing in efficiency and common sense we might have had
