Oh my!

DarJoLe · January 20th, 2006, 05:48 PM

They've still left the bottom of 110 Bishopsgate on the skyline rendering....doh!

Jonny 5 · January 20th, 2006, 07:02 PM

Those are the renderings of the old 183m design.

DarJoLe · January 20th, 2006, 07:05 PM

Eh?

Jonny 5 · January 20th, 2006, 07:07 PM

Still the same height as Tower 42 in the skyline rendering.......

Fragmentor · January 20th, 2006, 08:07 PM

The old version was smaller than Tower 42 (excluding the spire)

I was thinking that too.

That second rendering is stunning! Heron looks so substaintial.

Do hope they keep the spire - we need some skyscrapers with spires.

The cladding and design does remind me a bit of the World Tower in Sydney.

***wjfox*** · January 20th, 2006, 09:56 PM

Jonny, it's definitely the correct rendering. Heron is shown here at 202m + 40m spire

***gothicform*** · January 20th, 2006, 11:17 PM

yeah youre just a victim of perspective

eXSBass · January 21st, 2006, 11:37 AM

A nondescript concrete slab from the 1970s... ripe for a major redevelopment!

How long will demolition take again?

***wjfox*** · January 21st, 2006, 02:17 PM

About the asbestos thing - I can't believe it would take 3 years to get rid of it.

Somebody has reported the wrong information here, surely?
