Standing at a whopping 180 metres tall, the Gherkin, officially referred to as 30 St. Mary Axe, is London’s first environmental skyscraper. It’s an instantly recognizable silhouette gracing the skyline of the city, and has made quite the impact in defining the city’s architecture in the 21st century.
The Gherkin is considered a remarkable landmark in Europe’s leading financial centre. The environmentally progressive tower is built to maximize a range of sustainable measures which greatly reduce the building’s energy consumption. The circular plan of the building is also designed to emulate shape and geometry that have affinities with forms that recur in nature.
