Norman Foster's Gherkin tower in London, is an iconic form on the city skyline. The first of a number of "named" buildings in London such as the Cheese Grater, Shard and Walkie Talkie buildings it has a visually striking facade pattern that curves around the elevations of the building. The dark band of glass on the facade highlights atrium spaces that rotate around the building every 3 floors.
