Architecture cartoon
Skyscraper cartoon
High rise office blocks architecture, with the architects having trouble designing the buildings’ tops.
The buildings are modern bland, glass and steel designs apart from the tops
A cartoon of an architect’s office with models of high-rise buildings on a table, each high-rise building having an unusually shaped top.
The cartoon illustrates the way that modern architecture often relies on gimmicky shapes to give the buildings an identity (such as the ‘Gherkin’, the Shard, the “Pinnacle”, the “Cheesegrater”), so that cityscapes look more and more bizzare.
