It will blight the London skyline and overburden the public transport services. I can only hope someone flies a plane into it. Only slightly less provocative then the building is the introductory text stating how it "will allow London to expand". what exactly does that mean? how does a vertical cul-de-sac allow an already enormous city to expand? and who wants london to expand anyway? i think it's big enough, thank you. but seriously, what good does hyper-density do for a city? London is a city of terraced houses and garden squares, mansion-blocks and housing estates. it is not monumental, save for the occasional museum or palace. Mostly London is quiet, unassuming, reserved and charming. it's relatively low density is what makes it so special, wonderful, livable and lovely. London is not a city for towers. It’s a travesty.

I think the spaces could be great, but I think the building would benefit from the same amount of attention on the scale of the whole and it's dialog with the city/urban (very object driven) condition. By the way, isn't this pretty much what Foster is doing everywhere right now? renzo and his spaces and articulation/fenestration/detailing are always nice, but I think the overall form of the building is less than stellar. very self-referential, in that the only thing it could possibly reference–is itself!
