Yup, someone thought building a giant dildo in the middle of London was a good idea.

Well, if they'd built that people would at least stop making phallus jokes about Swiss Re, anyway.

A 440m tall dildo, right down to the colours - yikes!

Yikes. In this rendering it looks to me like it would sit directly on top of Battersea Power Station.

How serious was this project? Does it have a thread?

Future Systems is an architectural and design practice producing highly original work. The designs are not only architecturally innovative and visually striking, but are also pieces of highly functional equipment - inspired by both nature and technologies transferred from other industries.

It wasn't that serious, Future Systems were just trying to raise their profile.

Why they thought a giant dildo was a good idea i'll never know.

Umm, two target consumers. You forgot about the 50 ft. Richard Simmons.

John Hinds · #75 Posted **Sep 24, 2007, 10:20 AM**

And the 50ft robot Michael Jackson.

That woman in the poster looks closer to 200ft

Wow! How come I was never aware of this monstrosity. When was this projected?
