20 Fenchurch Street (The Walkie-Talkie)
by admin on Monday, July 5th, 2010 | 25 Comments
20 Fenchurch Street is a new skyscraper under construction in the City of London designed by Rafael Vinoly. 39 stories of office space topped by a public sky garden offering year round access and views across the river and City skyline. Dubbed ‘the walkie-talkie’, the tower expands in size at it reaches its top, seemingly to ‘loom’ over the river, whilst opening up space for a public plaza and garden at its base. No sound

what program was used for the rendering/animation of this building
London, I like it!
i absolutely hate the exterior, especially the side where it looks like its slanted sidewards, from a distance it looks terrible. if they straightened this out, then the building would be nice.
I really like this building. Demolition of the site is progressing well. The Shard looks breath taking at the end of the video.
I agree this particular skyscraper will be largely unwanted – unbalanced, ugly and arrogant… I think it will quickly become unfashionable. The shard at the end of this clip does look fantastic though – take a few design tips from the architects of that building perhaps?
What a horrible ugly building. A monstrosity. All of the other proposed skyscrapers look good to me, but this is an absolute pig.
fucking ugly piece of shit building
london the best!!
when will this be built and al the others ?
planting trees every where in the building wont make it green!!!
u can hav a green bulding withoput any vegetation inside it, the building has to just sustain itself .
i hope they dont have weeds growing in the loo
I don’t care what anyone sais… but in my OPINION, this is the only skyscraper i would rather not have built in the City. I just can’t help thinking that the design is trying too hard and will not fit in with the surroundings.
Its different. I think its kind of cool to have a great variety in styles. I mean the tate and the Lloyds buildings are extremely ugly but they are loved so I think it will be welcomed
yes, i agree completely. its not in the cluster and the design is ugly
Poor deluded fools and philistines, who think that sticking up glass and steel office towers actually enhances a place and makes it great.
Has its construction already begun?
uh oh, time to call in alqueda again

i actully quite like this building!
Apparently,it’s in danger & could be cancelled,does anybody knw some more things abt it?As 4 me,I love it!
The inside is stunning!…… magical!… :-]
….the OUTside is damn plug-ugly! ……… go build your cartoon buildings somewhere else! ;-D
……. just the outer design need a rethink….. ok?
so get to it….
urgh butt ugly building
I heard this building has been canceled…i hope it’s true.
at the end of the day, its a horrible shape, no amount of greenery or conceptual jargon can remove that fact.
That architect deserves to be exiled…
When will construction begin?
It looks great.
