They Call Him Goldfinger

The inspiration for the James Bond villian came from a really bad architect:

As he was a neighbour in Willow Road, author Ian Fleming's dislike of the design of the house (and the demolition of the previous Victorian properties) prompted him to name the James Bond adversary and villain Auric Goldfinger after Ernő. Goldfinger consulted his lawyers when the book was published in 1959 (which prompted Fleming to threaten to rename the character 'Goldprick') but eventually decided not to sue; Fleming's publishers agreed to pay his costs and gave him six free copies of the book. Goldfinger was a serious man and sometimes sacked his assistants if they were inappropriately jocular.

I don't really care for Ernő's buildings, but man, that's a grudge!
I've actully seen Goldfinger's Trellick tower. I was on the train from London to Reading and as we passed it by I remember thinking, "what kind of awful Cthuhulu mind would design that kind of beast. It's all wrong"

Now I know.

Also, there is a link between Goldfinger and the always regretable Boston City Hall (and presumably the UMass, Amherst campus as well).
