The Shard

My senior year at Wellesley I took a course on the history of the skyscraper. The last building that we discussed was Renzo Piano's proposed (at the time) skyscraper in London. In the interim I haven't really kept up on the goings on of skyscraper development so it was cool to read this article about the finished product. My favorite quote from the interview:
"It is not difficult to make a new shape," he says. "Even children can do that. What is difficult is to make new shape that makes sense."
