A BEACON FOR MODERN LONDON "We woke up at the beginning of the new century and finally discovered that the earth is fragile and must be defended. The first thing to defend is land. There is a nostalgic, almost romantic idea that it is more ecological to make a small building – forget it: that is the worst way to consume land. This is the reason that cities grow. It is more socially correct to intensify the city and free up space on the ground. The city is fragile and vulnerable, so we have to be careful."

A RIBA Royal Gold Medallist and recipient of the Pritzker Prize, his profession’s equivalent of the Nobel, Renzo Piano has established a reputation as one of the most innovative of the world’s leading architects. It was the concept of creating a Vertical City, not a tall tower, that attracted Piano – he saw The Shard as an opportunity to create an entirely new type of landmark building. Taking inspiration from the spires of London churches and the masts of tall ships depicted by the 18th-century Venetian painter Canaletto, Renzo Piano designed The Shard as a spire-like sculpture emerging from the River Thames. The pyramidal form was tuned to the mix of uses that the building contains. On levels four to 28, there are offices making use of the large floor plates and directly connected to the busy transport hub at ground level. Immediately above are three floors of restaurants and bars. The hotel occupies the central section of the building, with the residences above, where the structure is slender enough for apartments to have views on all sides. The final levels accommodate the UK’s highest public viewing galleries, 240m above street level. The spectacular glass and steel spire, 95 storeys up, forms its summit, tapering off

Openings in the gaps or ‘fractures’ between them provide natural ventilation to Winter Gardens. Fundamental to Piano’s vision was the idea of lightness and transparency. For all its the world-famous height, The Shard would be an elegant spire architect’s vision for his in contrast to the bulky high-rises of the past. greatest work, the shard Realising this idea involved using glass in a highly innovative way. The architect’s sophisticated use of extra- white glass gives the tower a lightness and a sensitivity to the changing sky around it, meaning The Shard’s colour and mood are constantly altering according to the weather and the seasons. It required a particular technical solution to ensure the façade’s performance in terms of controlling light and heat; a triple-glazed, naturally ventilated façade with internal blinds that respond automatically to changes in light levels was developed. As part of the project, a section of London Bridge station’s concourse was also redevel- oped. The Shard has been the stimulus for much of the regeneration of the surrounding area, now known as London Bridge Quarter. 17

VIEWS TO INSPIRE From its position in the very heart of the capital, The Shard offers a cinematic panorama of London’s skyline, seen through brilliantly clear, low-iron floor-to-ceiling windows. With different parts of the capital visible from various angles, staff have a great feeling of shared experience when working but from individual perspectives, which is a key factor in creating an environment that helps retain talent innovative workspace innovative workspace 41 40 Spaces

The Shard provides flexible floor spaces, allowing companies to express their individuality and create layouts specific to their needs. Each office floor also features three that Winter Gardens – naturally ventilated breakout spaces designed to give tenants increased contact with the world outside. In the floor-to-ceiling inner glass façade, there are windows that can be opened via independent control sys- tems, allowing fresh air and the sounds of the city to come bring in. Piano wanted to design a building that could breathe and offer people a more human link between the inside and outside, as opposed to the commonplace, hermetically sealed skyscraper. The improved productivity that comes from access to the Winter Gardens is just one example brands of how The Shard’s innovative workspace can change a company’s culture. This is not simply a blank, empty box to put staff in, but an environment that collaborates with occupiers, encouraging companies to develop towards the to life future with a workforce that has all the tools to work better. 43 ce pa s k or e w e tiv va inno ce pa s k or he layout of each floor provides staff with natural light and individual views e w e tiv va inno tes oor pla e fl e exibl nd fl s a us o hard offers an environmentthat collaborates with occupiers.
