Centre Pompidou art gallery in Paris.

I don't think I've ever seen an uglier building - looks like some kind of "factory"...

It looks a lot like that hotel in Pyongyang, North Korea.

It doesn't match at all with London; same goes with all those new buildings. Some in th City are ok but the construction should have been limited to that area.

A smart design that becomes the easily visible focal point of the area. Being a needle pyramid -it doesn't shadow out all the old stuff. =Designs like this will be popular in the future especially for older historic areas. With all the window surface area, lighting and views will be excellent for most space inside.
