This big golden turd building just opened in Edinburgh, it cost over a billion pounds and today after some heavy rain, the roof leaked so much it was like a swimming pool in parts.
It's a lot better than the brutalist horror show it replaced, the old St James centre was voted one of the most badly designed buildings in Europe and all the negativity caused the architect to kill himself.

- they invested over a 1 billion pounds in a Mall? I would be mad at that.uan
- Edinburgh city centre is just one big tourist mall. Hotels, student flats, the usual. Anything interesting get s squeezed out.PhanLo

The Fly's Eye Dome was a structure designed in 1965 by R. Buckminster Fuller. Inspired by the eye of a fly, Fuller designed the dome as his idea of the affordable, portable home of the future, with windows and openings in the dome to hold solar panels and systems for water collection, thus allowing the dome to be self sufficient. Before his death in 1983, he hand-built three prototypes of the design:
A 12-foot prototype is currently owned by Norman Foster.
A 24-foot prototype is currently owned by Craig Robins.
A 50-foot prototype acquired by Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas and installed in 2017.A new version of the Fly's Eye Dome standing at 24 feet was built in 2014 in Miami under guidance from The Buckminster Fuller Institute.
