Affectionately known by some as the "Birmingham Blob", this part of the new Bullring centre has certainly raised a few eyebrows over the past few years.

Now I'm not expecting a perfect replica of this building (after all, it is a pretty odd shape and so would probably be very hard to model - especially with the footbridge to a nearby car park), but it might be fun to see if someone could create a building 'inspired' by this, retaining at least some 'blobbiness' (and if possible the night-time blue hue) - evidently the aluminium discs would be a texture (I can't imagine even the most determined BATter manually adding several thousand discs to the exterior of their building!). The original is a Selfridges store - if you're mad enough to have a go at this challenge, feel free to give it whatever use you desire (in addition to being a landmark!)
