      The B1M Could you make a video on the recent and near-future changes of the London skyline? 22 Bishopsgate, 1 Undershaft, the Vase etc?

    Why didn't you talk about it. It's placement and base shape are fascinating, looks like they're trying to get use out of the tiny corner of empty land beside that one existing building. I bet that will become a trend over the next few years, re purposing tiny pieces of land into weirdly shaped sky scrapers.

  • @WilliamDye-willdye
    @WilliamDye-willdye 5 років тому +2

    I like the creativity, but I worry about the economics. It looks like the building requires customers who are willing to pay a high premium. High-end whims are difficult to predict years in advance, but that building willl take many years to pay for itself. I'm not saying it will fail, only that I would pay very close attention to their risk management plans. Hopefully the bold design comes with a bold plan to reduce construction and maintenance costs by utilizing new technologies.
