Hasn't the London skyline changed!

But he did and designed in preventive measures. These were removed to save costs.

In that case my slur on the profession is misplaced, and I should apologize. I wasn't aware of that.

And then we come to the Millenium Bridge....

Indeed, hasn't the skyline changed! The curvy block building to the left of your gherkin skyline is what I think is called the walkie-talkie, the cause of the melting Jag. If only architects understood basic physics they'd realise that the front is essentially a concave mirror, and will focus sunlight on the street below.

The sky line has changed dramatically since the millennium, with The eye, Brige, Gurkin Building, Shard, new new one opposite Lloyds (designed by same guy open about a year now) the building that melts plastic on cars (Walkie Talkie) to name a few. Yes it is true the Suits removed the preventative shielding to save costs & was a case of some argument with the designer who was proved right.

I like this site, there is always someone who has information that I find fascinating, I knew next to nothing of any of these bits about the skyline, so thanks everyone
