The building at 20 Fenchurch Street, known as the Walkie-Talkie, faced significant issues including melting cars and dangerous wind conditions due to its design.
Architecture can have unforeseen consequences, as demonstrated by the Walkie-Talkie's unique shape that caused intense sunlight reflection leading to property damage and physical risks.
Despite initial design flaws, including a damaging 'death ray,' the Walkie-Talkie is now part of London's skyline, yet it remains a controversial structure among locals.
The Walkie-Talkie's outwardly curving structure created unexpected downdrafts, making the pedestrian experience perilous and leading to its designation as the worst building of the year.
