Stop believing that London is the center of the world, it becomes tiring of this communication.
There are many other interesting city in Europe. Personally I find no exceptional Shard. then it was over ten years, as projects are planned in London.
For me, projects in Frankfurt, Madrid, Barcelona and Paris are also important. There is a large complex. Architecture is not just about height. there will always be higher elsewhere ...
It's very good for London, but enough of this binary vision: London is well and the rest of Europe, zero.
In addition, there is a cycle of history. Again I respect London, but is primarily a history of communication.
Fortunately, the world is not confined to a single model.
Finally, in my case I can assure you that the Hermitage Plaza project in Paris-La Defense is more than a proposal.
