I can't understand from that render how the mountains behind are reflected in the glass at the front. Some clever optics.

I wonder if a moderator could start a 'sticky' thread devoted to addressing the issue of on-topic, but utterly superfluous posts?
"nice pics" "any updates?" "this is going up fast" "not much progress today" "pics?" "nice" "uuuurgh, I'm coming!" "pics?" etc

"hard to judge before it's finished"
"too close to the river" "could have been a bit taller" "a bit dull" "not dull enough" "the back's ugly" "looks worse in the rain" |

I quite like the Cheesegrater and the Helter Skelter but why does London have to compete with Dubai for who can come up with the wackiest design for a skyscraper!!

London's are hardly wacky. Most are born out of constraints on the site and across London. I know of no competition with Dubai.

I don't mind the 'nice pics' post.
If I went into the city in my own time, and took pics. It would be nice to have them acknowledged. Even if it is just a smiley face or something inane like, 'it's really coming along.' Its how you know your work has meant something. |

hi guys, what's the name of a black colour building near the canary wharf? i think it is still u/c and it is sort of like a museum, art gallery or a car show room. it's shape is quite unusual and it looks like a giant crab from a distance. does anyone know it's name?
