Weird Orbit Tower In London Is Now Complete

Just like the rendering from last year, the now completed ArcelorMittal Orbit looks like a brain-liquifying roller coaster. Or a metal spaghetti monster twice the size of the Eiffel Tower, stranded in the rainy city, sad and confused.

In reality, the Orbit is an habitable sculpture, one of the centre pieces of the 2012 London Olympic Games and a complete horror.

    if it were a roller coaster the ugly factor would be more acceptable – personally i think its quite cool looking, simply because i thougth it was a rollercoaster

    Looks like a building swallowed by the Red Weed from war of the Worlds.

    I kinda understand London thinking: Why stop at butt-ugly, unimaginative logo of Olympic Games 2012? Let’s make a butt-ugly tower as well.

    To clarify: I REALLY love work of Anish Kapoor – artist who designed this. He makes some impressive sculptures. This is not one of them.

    Ugly ugly ugly eyesore. It should be oozing green slime from swollen pimples, then you could call it a disease!

    Gonna look even worse in about 10 years time after the paint’s all started peeling off, it all starts rusting and gets overgrown with weeds due to neglect.
    Like a Rocket that crashed nose-first.

    Twice the size of Tour de Eiffel.
    Not likely..

    Orbit tower is 115 (377 feet) metres, Tour Eiffel is 324m… (French don’t measure things in feet. at this rate you will never get to mars.)

    At least wiki your facts..

    As a studying architect I think this tower is possibly the worst looking thing since the design of London’s mascots… I don’t know who is in charge of the design of this Olympics but he needs to be fired and possibly aressted for what he has made
