I like innovative architecture - the fabulously phallic Gherkin, the detumesced testicle of the mayor's office (could do with a little architectural Viagra, perhaps). Richard Rogers is in my Creative Talent Top Ten. So I certainly don't suffer from an edifice complex! But the dreaded Dome was a disastrous idea from start to finish. It has no shape. It looks exactly like a giant diaphragm - Elizabeth Taylor's, perhaps? If Mama Cass were still alive, she'd insert it. The only way to redeem the Dome is to make it into pop art by adding a giant sculpture of a tube of spermicide next to it. It is certainly not much of an "artistic concept" as it is. At least then it could work as an artistic contraceptive.

The only good thing about the whole dome affair is the dome itself. Its a fantastic structure you just have to inside of it when is empty...
