There has been a geographical shift in my muse. What used to be the serene streets of India has now shifted to the heart of London. But, as the old saying goes 'Old habits die hard'. So here I am in London, making one more of my lists!
All the architects can pay attention for they might end up with a lucrative deal to build something in central London, for these are the prerequisites.
1. There is only one way for the building to grow, that is straight up into the sky!
2. You can use concrete if you want but , Glass has to be the main ingredient.
3. Walkie-Talkie, Cheese-grater, glass Shards and cucumbers are all valid shapes of buildings. So you better be creative! Wine bottle, crown, basketball shoes, lettuce are some unexplored shapes. The Queen's Guard's Hat can even win you an award.
4. No building is complete without two cranes, placed strategically at the top. Not to forget the red lights to warn the heavy air traffic.
5. Neon lighting for the night is quintessential. Especially in the winters when most of the day is night.
6. To balance the excessive use of neon lights, do provide solar panels to silence the environmentalists. Although the energy produce from those panels will be enough to light one small cigarette.
7. Name the building as XYZ "wharf". It will work.
8. Inaugurate the building by inviting a member of the Royal Family and ask him to Base Jump/ Rappel/ Bungee Jump/ Jump from the top floor.
9. Advertise by saying that the building has an 'AMAZING' view. (Yes If you stand on the top of the crane you might be able to see a part of the London Eye, and trust me its amazing!)
10. Finally wash your hands in the Thames and head to Dubai/Doha for your next project.
