Have a look at the image below, and see if you can identify which building it is.....:
Congratulations to everyone who said 'The Gherkin' you are 100% WRONG!
It is in fact this rather nifty structure in Eindhoven town centre, photographed on a recent jaunt to the Netherlands:
The building, known as "The Blob" houses the top two storeys of a fashion store which has a further three subterranean levels, eventually linking in with one of the city's main underground stations, and serving as the entrance to Eindhoven's main shopping centre, the Admirant.
The Blob, or to give it its eponymous name, "De Blob" completed in 2010; six years after London's Gherkin. Locals laughed off my comparisons between the two buildings; I'll let you draw your own conclusions...
