The base is amazing. Everything else above that curvelinear cantilever should be sent back to the drawing board. Considering the London City cluster, this is lackluster in design compared to it's neighbors.

What's AOD?

I thought it was a supertall then realized AGL probably means Above Grade / Ground Level so maybe not.

This is cool though and probably taller than the shard by roof / occupied height.

I didn't realize just how ugly the London cluster looks...though I think it's partly because of how dense this cluster is, and the lack of breathing room for each building makes them read as a big blob. This design really doesn't help, for you can see an old church and the Cheese Grater are overpowered by this.

Really?? I rather love the grey blue cluster...but I especially love the red crown really standing out.

It's funny, Austin has a similar problem with blue glass, yet it somehow works so much better in London.

I like it a lot more than the older design! Imagine this rising alongside 55 Bishopsgate...

My old drill sergeant used to say...

Do like the simplicity of the tower and the elaborate street level base. ; )

It’s the 80’s all over again (minus the base).

I'm not sure this is a supertall, I think the height is 295 meters and 310 maybe above sea level. (Referring to the title change).

Still a beast by Euro standards though. Kind of like 2WTC meets one of the Hudson Yards towers.
