Set to be the tallest building in the United Kingdom,The Shard is going to be the new structure dominating the London skyline in 2012. Estimated at 1,017 feet tall,this gorgeous twisting glass-and-metal structure will house apartments,offices,restaurants,and a 15-story observation deck,sure to provide a full unimpeded view of the city for years to come. Personally,I love the look,but can’t help think it looks a bit too much like a tower Sauron would live in. (Found on Gizmodo)
