A fancy private girls' school in Sydney, Australia, had a good chuckle when they discovered that their brand new garden unintentionally resembled a massive penis, as revealed by drone footage taken of the school.
According to the headmaster, Paul Burgis, he completely missed the shape during the design process.
From New York Post:
A school employee also provided “feedback” on the garden gaffe, he told the outlet.
“As part of recording the updates we sent a drone up to take pictures. At a certain angle from up high, the garden with its room for chairs took on a phallic shape which was unintended and unexpected,” Burgis told the Herald.
“As a result, the architects made some alterations which were completed within 72 hours of the drone pictures,” he said.
NBRS, the architectural firm hired for the project, did not immediately respond to the paper.
A former student with ongoing ties to the school said the shape of the original garden was obvious.
“It was unmistakably shaped like a penis and testicles,” she said on condition of anonymity.
“The immediate response was laughter — ‘You’ve got to be kidding me.’ Photos have been circulating among the school as memes, saying, ‘Oh good morning’ and various kinds of jokes,” she added.
I have one burning question: Who was the genius behind this design who failed to realize the shape they were creating?
