Shard London Bridge is a skyscraper under construction in London which in 2011 became the tallest building in the Europe.
When completed in May 2012, it will stand at 310 m (1,017 ft) tall.
Renzo Piano, the building's architect, worked with the architectural firm Broadway Malyan during the planning stage. The tower will have 72 habitable floors, with a viewing gallery and open-air observation deck – the UK's highest – on the 72nd floor. It has been designed with an irregular triangular shape from the base to the top, and will be clad entirely in glass.
