These are the first concept pictures of a stunning new 1,000ft-high glass skyscraper featuring glass gondolas allowing visitors to ride on the outside.
The building dubbed 'The Tulip', which is set to become London's second tallest structure behind The Shard, will have a 12-storey glass bud on top of a 787ft concrete shaft with eight floors of viewing platforms.
The Tulip, which will have bars and restaurants inside to hold 1,500 people, will sit next to the Gherkin the 590ft tower also known as 30 St Mary Axe which was designed in 2003 by the same architects, Foster + Partners.

I think this is a very attractive building. Why must we always build the same old same old?
Doesn't anybody have any imagination? Hasn't anybody read "The Fountainhead."?
