BBC Television Centre

The building features a distinctive circular central block (often affectionately referred to by staff as the "doughnut") around which are studios, offices, engineering areas and the new News Centre.

well done I was going to post the same link

And the real shape? I've said it !
from the last part of the link...
quote:
Despite being nicknamed the Doughnut, the overall design for Television Centre from the air appears to be like a question mark in shape.

Architect Graham Dawbarn drew a question mark on an envelope while thinking about the design - and then realised it would be an ideal shape for the site.
