Gherkin Goes Into Receivership
good headline, however going into receivership isn't of course.
I can't say i like this building, or any of the ugly boxes they have installed around the area, wonder what will happen to it.

many hated St Pauls, and Wrens design wasn't what he planned at all.
and no i don;t see any merit now or in the future to glass boxes, tall towers don't do it for me, i like classical architecture, Georgian, Edwardian even, this endless proliferation of glass towers is killing what was once a beautiful skyline from Westminster downwards - I loved NY but hated downtown Wall Street, it was so dark and gloomy down on the side walks
