Shardet

Description

Renzo Piano, projektets arkitekt, designede The Shard som en spir-lignende skulptur, der træder frem fra floden Thames. Han blev inspireret af jernbanelinjerne ved stedet, de londonske spir, som den 18. århundredes venetianske maler Canaletto skildrede, og mastene på sejlskibe. Pianis design mødte kritik fra English Heritage, som hævdede, at bygningen ville være "et shard af glas gennem hjertet af det historiske London", hvilket gav bygningen sit navn, The Shard. Piano betragtede den slanke, spir-lignende form af tårnet som et positivt bidrag til Londons skyline og mindede om kirkespirene, der optrådte i historiske graveringer af byen, og mente, at dets tilstedeværelse ville være langt mere delikat, end modstanderne af projektet påstod.
