This is great - architecture is so important to the image of a place and it should involve long and hard working process. Let us not have a repeat of the 60s
I don't know what bloombarg does but I can probably live without it. Its a lot of resources to build a building like that.
U can live without it but your bank and government can't
£1.5 billion I think it cost
The building process itself involving so many countries is not very sustainable
The building's longevity over time will compensate for that.
@@soulstar0111 I mean…… no not really. It’s not like Foster is building a large percentage of all office buildings, though, so this is not a real problem in and of itself, it’s just not setting an example of valuing embodied carbon over custom finishes. The real “problem” in the world is all the concrete buildings that both are nothing special and are not concerned at all with reducing cement use vs. structural stone and structural wood. For a 10 storey building loose laid masonry is out of the running so that leaves reinforced concrete, steel, and mass timber for structural elements….. of those obviously mass timber has the most promise of the best embodied carbon per sqft especially in Europe where there is so much mature production capacity for mass timber elements.
@@2brazy4ubitch I agree with you wholeheartedly.
Looks a little "borrowed" (subtle rip-off?). If anything, it's looks a tad too much like Canadian architect Arthur Erickson's design work from the 60's and 70s. It doesn't mesh with the historic architecture of London AT ALL. Just looks like a drummed up typical steel and glass building with concrete floors. Yay. Cookie cutter.
Sorry, but this has to be one of the ugliest buildings in the COL!
