Stirk's firm was also behind the adjacent Lloyd's building, the radical and critically divisive home of the global insurer.

What do the differences and similarities between these two landmarks reveal about British architecture in the 21st century?

I can see this building lying in bed looking out of my window...and it is beautiful!
Our tallest building that is entirely office space is now 22 bishopsgate which is the second tallest building in the uk just below the shard
I know that Aon Hewitt employees are greatly looking forward to moving in next year. Has Andy Cox earmarked an office yet?
BEAUTIFUL
The narrator is fresh out of Twickenham!
Awesome building
Van dat soort hoogbouw kunnen we in België (en zeker in Antwerpen) alleen maar dromen. In de stad aan de stroom worden tegenwoordig enkel schoendozen gebouwd. Zelfs toen er nog een (stads)bouwmeester was !
the company is thinking of building one of these just across the road from Auckland sky tower on federal street Auckland central city but really i don't think they have got the green light to go ahead but I'm just wishing they do it very soon because look at photos on line and this video will definitely make Auckland central stand out beside looking at Auckland boring sky tower everyday.
Jaw dropping amazing!!
What's the music in the background?
2:15 tallest OFFICE BUILDING IN BRITAIN. Pay attention!! 😮😮
Woah
Huh? The Leadenhall Building has NEVER been "the tallest office tower ever to be built in Britain" It was only the 4th tallest when completed. And even if we are being pedantic, and the narrator means"office only" building, thus excluding the Shard which includes Hotels and apartments, it's still shorter than 2 all office buildings, Heron Tower (completed 3 years earlier) and One Canada Square (built 23 years previously). Graham Stirk even corrected him when he made this error, yet it's kept in the introduction.
Why? Was he not listening?
love to visit bob bob citie..
Why would you leave the erroneous assertion about the building's record height in the description, let alone the narration, when it's refuted later in the video itself?
Nyctohylophiliac I think it is because the Shard is a mixed-use building whereas this one is only offices with the exception of the public space at ground level.
Watch out for Reapers!
Why is the Taj Mahal one of the most beautiful buildings in the world? People travel from all over the world just to see it. Why does the Walkie Talkie have to look like that or the Cheese grater what a wasted opportunity. They could have done something really amazing and breathtaking and really put London on the map! Instead of these childish dumb stupid shapes, its not very sophisticated, its lazy design
Jack Daniels, u really sound so stupid and dumb! Where is your own building that you are here condemning someone's effort?
Get a life idiot!!!!
@@davetv4705 You don't have to be an architect to criticize a building's looks.
There shaped like that because of the building regulations in the city.
There are viewing corridors for the St Paul’s cathedral
I'm sorry, but it looks like the inside of a warehouse. I don't care for it.
Why is british architecture soo ugly when it could be beautiful. So many eyesores and this stuff will stand for decades. It reminds me of the Iron Angel what that was all about is beyond me. The Romans had the right idea they created beautiful environments for themelves all the british are doing is making London ugly we have bad weather and now ugly buildings to stare at.
Because it’s too expensive
***** ***** Hey there, thought you guys might be interested in checking the elevators out in the Cheesegrater. Potential future location!
The Guardian I really like this video. What music is playing on the background?
