Managed to grab a close-up shot of this with the tilt shift lens. It's a pretty out there building design, by the late James Stirling, after whom the architectural Stirling Prize is named.

 

It was a pretty controversial post modern design back in the day, but it has been protected by Grade II listed status, so it can't be altered in any significant ways. As such, when it was made listed in 2016 it was (and still is I think) the youngest listed building in England.

 

I kind of like how off the wall it is, and as I mentioned in my last snap posted last summer, to me it's a bit like the 'Homer's Car' of building designs. Anyone unfamiliar with that reference have a look here:
