Belatedly to the thread, that is an amazing building Reminds me of NOT of the Millennium Dome, a building designed to last till the end of humanity, or about 30 years which ever comes sooner

Small world Tahir. My grandparents move further out later, and when Mum and Dad were going out together, Dads parents lived in north west London, so he could recite the names of the tube stations right across between them for years.

As you say Jema, most modern structures don't seem built to last, but sadly the architects don't think about how they are to be deconstructed. Some of the 'iconic' things in London like the falling over old fashioned mobile phone, the gherkin (or space rocket as I see it), that broken Shard thing etc. are going to be brutes to take down without doing damage around them. The probably won't last too long and need to be demolished , possibly even within my lifetime. I know they had fun with the Tricorn in Portsmouth. They should have let the Navy loose on it; they would have flattened it easily enough.

What does that mean Tahir?

The mosque is very beautiful. Some of the ideas people come up with are amazing.
