The
Faulty Towers office development was built in 2005, a few years after
the re-opening of the 'wobbly bridge'. Faulty Towers acts as a 'gateway'
to the City of London and is configured to resemble a bull and bear.This
scheme has been engineered to 'oscillate'. Each floor in the building
is automatically stabilised and controlled by servo assisted computers,
to provide a gentle 'wobble' - synchronised with the movements of
the Footsie one hundred share index. This is extremely beneficial
to the city workers resident in the building. The 'real time' floor
movements give them instant feedback reflecting changes in the market
and have greatly improved trading success.
