30 St Mary Axe by Kenneth Powell
The office building designed by Foster and Partners for client Swiss Re at 30 St Mary Axe in London is already a well-established icon on the City skyline. Intelligently conceived, innovative in design and construction, and environmentally progressive, there can be few offices worldwide that have earned such affection from the public. This book tells the fascinating story of the genesis, development and public reception of one of the world's most radical buildings - winner of over 10 major awards, including the prestigious Stirling Prize.
