How can someone waste so much building material on something so visually unappealing. And and after so much waste Anish Kapoor has the gall to complain that the thing is expensive to visit - well someone has to pay for your pile of rubbish - welcome to Architecture!

Shame the actual olympics buildings are so genius-free wow, how the the mighty have fallen!
