guardianartanddesign: Flick through the Shard’s progress in pictures, then read Rowan Moore’s article tracking the building’s haphazard journeyfrom pipe dream to reality, and asks is it a good thing for the capital? Rowan Moore: “Save us from a poke in the eye with a sharp stick,” I wrote in the London Evening Standard, in 2000, when property developer Irvine Sellar unveiled plans for a 1,400ft-high pointy cylinder above London Bridge station.
