Was on the bus today In Edinburgh with a family sitting beside/behind me, coming into the city centre and one of the kids said the poopy tower! This is what she meant- 🤣

AKA The Jobby Centre
Its always kind of been hard to see it as anything else. Coiled snake at a push (intended) but not really.
The Asahi tower in Tokyo has a similar top and it’s known as the shit building
💩
I genuinely despise this building. Its so shit and is a blight on the skyline. Whoever approved it has zero taste and a fetish for poop
An architectural ode to 💩.
They should have one of these in Bristol.
Tokyo has a similar one, “the golden turd”

That is hideous. Everyone involved in the design and approval of that should be ashamed – its laughable! It looks like a schoolboys idea of a joke.
Still baffles me that everyone in the design process looked at this and not one of them said “this looks like a turd”.
We call it the Turd, like the Shard in London.
Just like when the dog shits in long grass and you only see the top of the tower coming out
Our guide called it the “poop emoji” building while touring the city. 💩😂
I find that building an odd structure, especially at the top.
Edinburgh council must have pushed hard for this…
Englishmen call it the golden turd, Scottish men call it Copper Jobby
They knew exactly what they were doing placing a giant turd in Scotland’s capital city!
Yep, my kids call it the Poop Emoji building

It was supposed to have more ‘ribbon’ on the top, but the council said no
No, but really, what is it actually called?
That architect knew what they are doing, there is no other way
Always questioned this building, is it another example of 60s/70s “architecture”?
Turd Tower haha
Children have no filter …thank God
Does look like someone coiled one out Mr Whippy style.
Hmmm I’m from Florida I wonder why this sub randomly pooped up on my feed
It’s got a sister building in Japan:

It’s known as the golden turd over there.

I bet it was a Glaswegian who designed this giant jobby. Fair play to them.
I got a photo of it from two years ago when my uncle pointed it out. I really want to go back and see my dad’s family over there again. Was so fun.
Edit: fuck reddit images
I mean, she’s not wrong…
