There is an “unhealthy correlation” between the building of skyscrapers and subsequent financial crashes, according to Barclays Capital.

thanks to eggins10 for the link..
this story was actually mainstream news this morning..the “conspiracy” of skyscrapers coinciding with downturns is now a financial theory..
the basis for the theory is that the skyscrapers show the excess and baggage of bloated share markets..
the shard..looks like a pyramid shrine..but thats just me and my crazy mind

I remember reading about this when they first released some pics & models of the design over at skyscrapercity; the top is supposed to remind of the old sailing ships. jmo the design is a little flat, nothing to distinguish it sufficiently. Also they had trouble with the funding, resultingly it is 80% owned by Qatar who has been buying up the London Bridge quarter.
qatar..nice..1-2 million people in that nation and they are pulling strings everywhere
Love the fact the architect images show London to be green and pleasant with a normal looking river. The video, being more realistic shows it and the river for what it is… a streaming pile of s**t
haha..cheers mate..the beehive looks..phallic?
