London Bridge Tower - Shard of Glass

21 October 2008

Since February 2007 Commtech has been involved in Services Design and Validation Management for the prestigious ‘Shard of Glass’, located at 32 London Bridge Street .

This iconic tower will stand at 1017 feet (310 metres) tall and have 72 floors, making it the tallest building in Europe. The projects’s renowned international architect Renzo Piano, has compared his design to "a shard of glass" - he considers the slender, spire-like form of the tower a positive addition to the London skyline. He proposes a sophisticated use of glazing, with expressive facades of angled panes intended to reflect light and the changing patterns of the sky, so that the form of the building will change according to the weather and seasons.
