30 St Mary Axe built from 2000 to 2004,
known as the Gherkin or Swiss Re Tower,
is the masterpiece of Norman Forster and
Partners, construed by steel and glass.
Since the revolution of Frank Gehry’s
Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, the contemporary
architecture has had enigmatic meanings.
The uncanny gherkin-shape is compelled under
the context of the important role of global
city such as London which needs more exhibits.
Compared with the rejection of skyscrapers
in the 1980, the financial center of the
City of London has now admitted that tall
is good .
Successfully, Forster creates this funny
and gherkin-shape tower as the landmark
in London.
