I lived in Tokyo for about 10 years and returned home only to find London's skyline has probably now surpassed it. Both have that old meets new thing - great when you get a temple/shrine or church/castle in the foreground with a skyscraper in the background. Still... Tokyo is a much easier place to live on a low-middle income!

London has beautiful historic buildings and brutal, ugly, historic buildings AND a few skyscrapers that are well designed and unique while also having mundane, run-of-the-mill skyscrapers that look like shoeboxes in the sky. So long as emerging skyscrapers are designed with the highest quality and don’t look out of place, London in the future will be a beautiful city that harmonises old and new in perfect synergy.

That's what I love about London can see the old and new right next to eachother. But your right exceptional design is needed for new building not mediocrity

The skyscraper with the wind turbines on top is such a good idea. Free energy! And it looks cool too.
@Aerial_Bruce4 ай бұрын
Yeah it was a first of its kinds. There's some issues with vibration from them but hopefully they will sort in other versions of it but it does look cool
@MrMountainchris4 ай бұрын
@@Aerial_Bruce Seems like a lot of buildings could be fitted with these. So cool. Thanks

Those turbines are now redundant! Apparently, those residents living at the top found the noise generated by them (turbines) unbearable, so they were permanently turned off.

There's some amazing building that I try and capture here like One Blackfriars which is a stunning building. But will be interesting to see how the skyline develops. They need to keep a tight grip on only letting the best be built

London has not High number of skyscrapers Why tell me
@Aerial_Bruce4 ай бұрын
It's because of a law stopping building being built taller than St Pauls cathedral. The laws have been relaxed now but some of the skyscraper shapes are still dictated by the line of sight laws that still exists where you have to be able to see St Pauls from certain angles. It is also why London skyscrapers are generally in clusters together.

@thewomble15094 ай бұрын
@@Aerial_Bruce Nothing to do with the height of St Pauls. The restriction is because of the London City airport. You are correct about the sight lines for St Pauls though.
