A building that you look at and is recognisable instantly. "That's the gherkin, in London."

I wouldn't want to shake the architect's hand.

They should have nicknamed it The Bellend, imo.

They also have The Cheese Grater and the Walkie Talkie.

the top floor might be the best part of the design. i spent a lot of time there during my last semester and usually after long hours of studying and homework we would go out on the roof and watch passing traffic just to clear our minds and relax.

unfortunately awhile back there was a jumper scenario and because the individual was ready to jump from the top floor, they deemed it unsafe. so until they come up with a safer way to prevent that from happening again the rooftop is closed.
