Description:
Can one building change an architect's career, a company's reputation, and a city's skyline? Just a month after the World Trade Center attack in New York, the first steel beam of a new tower is raised in London. The question arises: is it wise to build a new, iconic tower in London's financial district, on a site previously bombed? The 40-story steel and glass building creates more debate. Norman Foster, a leading British architect, describes his design for the Swiss Re London headquarters as "radial – socially, technically, architecturally, and spatially." Its unusual size and shape quickly earn it the nickname "the erotic gherkin." Will the Gherkin become the landmark everyone hopes for?
