I have been visiting some really interesting high locations lately, while researching and working on a few ongoing personal projects. This week I was at the top of The Shard in London Bridge area. The Shard was designed in 2000 by Renzo Piano (known by creating the Pompidou Centre, Paris) in collaboration with Richard Rogers. The building will be around 330m high and the tallest in the European Union. The structure is so high that it can play games with ones sense of perception. Everything from up there seems very small and distant underneath. Big and powerful buildings by the Thames front and famous London landmarks suddenly appear to be small toy buildings in a kind of legoland city... absolutely stunning! More images coming soon.
