London Skyscraper Architecture London Tower Buildings - latest additions to this page, arranged chronologically: Walkie Talkie Building, City of London Design: Rafael Vinoly Architects photo © Adrian Welch Walkie Talkie Skyscraper Building - 1 May 2013 New photos of 20 Fenchurch St Building as construction of this controversial skyscraper nears the top. The 37-storey tower that breaks with the perceived boundaries of common architectural expression and is located away from the main cluster of skyscapers in the City of London. The building billows out towards the top, the opposite of a typical skyscraper design which aims to get more slender as it rises. 240 Blackfriars, south London Design: Allford Hall Monaghan Morris Architects photo © Adrian Welch 240 Blackfriars Tower - 1 May 2013 The key feature is a chamfer progressively sliced off the angled facade as it rises up the building, the architects describe it thus: "Terminating the vista from the south end of Blackfriars Bridge is the crystalline form of this 20 storey office building wrapped in a fluid pinstripe glass skin".
