Prince Charles has long been at odds with modern architecture but I wonder what he thinks about architectures' current obsession with the Penis? Perhaps they have erection issues to which the only solution is to erect buildings shaped like one?

There are Penis shaped buildings dominating the skylines of London and Barcelona these days and for all I know maybe many more popular European cities (email me more examples please). Now I learn that a new clock in the main square of the little town of Brno here in the Czech Republic might be building a penis-shaped clock! I am considering a headline that reads "Brno's New C(l)ock".

Brno's Penis Clock





I'm beginning to wonder if architects are trying to tell us something? What is their obsession with this penis shape?

What is even stranger and funnier is that these designs have to stand muster with the city councils who select them. Do they simply not see this penile obsession as the sinister plot it is or are they too embarrassed to say to the architect "God - Is that a Penis?" You can't tell me they don't notice these things (really?).

Last time I was in Barcelona I couldn't but help notice a very large roadside poster ad. It was facing squarely in the direction of the Barcelona Penis building and featured a young model covering her eyes with her hands! I thought that said everything.......
