The twisted King Alfred tower blocks will, of course, be straightsided buildings. The outer shapes will be external lattice-work - at least, that is what they look like.

As they are to be exposed to our prevailing south-westerlies, I wonder if any experiments have been made to see if, as I suspect, they will produce a great deal of wind noise.

Will they come to be known as the "Whistling Towers" I wonder?
