London Bridge Tower
Architect Renzo Piano says "The Tower is designed to be a sharp and light presence in the London skyline." Right-o, what do you think?

Dear Sir/Madam
I hope London Bridge Tower is built because Buildings like these in my view will enhance the skyline. At some point the heritage bodies will have to face up to the fact that we are living in the 21st Century not the 19th Century. Therefore London should have architecture that reflects this. London is a great Capital, surely it deserves radical architecture like the London Bridge Tower which will send messages around the world that London is producing great architecture again like the past when we produced buildings like St Pauls. Buildings like these should set a new standard in architectural design because some of the Skyscrapers being built in Canary Wharf such as the (HSBC Tower) havn't been designed beautifully like London Bridge Tower, they look to box like. I hope this stops lets start building some fantastic architecture again so Londoner's can be proud of our city. We are Europeans so buildings like London Bridge Tower and the controversial Erotic Gherkin in London's Square mile are totally unique compared to for example (Canary Wharf) Because this building looks too American. Europe has great designers so lets set new standards and build buildings that are original and environmentally friendly. Thank-you.
The 1000ft "Shard of Glass" was approved today by Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott!
Europe's tallest skyscraper will rise in London!
