Birmingham has got it's Icon as well - but in a deft piece of planning permission, they got theirs for free.
The department store Selfridges formed the anchor tenant of the re-developed Bullring complex, and made the decision to cover their store in a kind of giant bubblewrap. For such a modern design, it is surprisingly well liked. On the other hand it sits in an area of what was a pretty horrible 1960's concrete jungle.
I spent ages thinking about how to describe it. The outside of a dalek came to mind, or perhaps packet of contraception pills. In the end 'bubblewrap' seemed about my best attempt. Perhaps you could do better.
