5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating, 26 Mar 2009

By	MB241 - See all my reviews

This book provides the complete story of 30 St Mary Axe from conception to occupancy. The quality of photography and writing is excellent, and it is a truly fascinating read. If you have any interest in tall buildings, architecture, or London, this book is well worth purchasing - particularly as it highlights some of the lesser known individuals who were crucial in the building's realisation.

Individual chapters focus on the site's history, the design and planning process, construction, and the cultural impact of the building. The depth of detail provided for each is excellent, while the book has proven both useful for research and enjoyable to read for pleasure. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Iconic Building Brought to Life, 23 Jul 2009

By	E. Hayes (Cheltenham Glos.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I just love "The Gherkin" and after visiting it I yearned to find out more about it. Sadly the public are not admitted to the building but this book takes you on virtual tour; skillful photography and a jargon-less commentary takes the reader from the stages of construction through to occupancy. Lots of interesting facts combined with beautiful presentation make this book a must-have for fans of the Gherkin.
