I have loved this building ever since I saw the renderings. It looks so much better in person.

I just hope they don't build anything to emulate the design. Nothing could compare and it would be the wrong way to complement.

This tower is a great benchmark to build an organically shaped tower.

Finally London's skyline is to be reckoned with. Hope most other great European centers can do this if its possible. Paris is one of them.

Renzo Piano: 'The Shard is my dream building'
Renzo Piano's latest design towers over London's skyline – but will the controversial 1,000ft construction come to be known as the Italian architect's finest work?

This is turning out great. I'll be back in London in a couple of weeks and this time I'm making the effort to see it up close!

Hopefully the tower gets a lot of attention once the 2012 Olympics begin.

chest, your pictures from that bridge always have a strange, Gattaca-esque sci-fi quality to them. And are greatly appreciated.
