A giant egg named Gherkin

Apparently many of the works of the architect Norman Foster have to have an unusual design and style, which in large part is that it has given an enhancement to each of his architectural works.

Another of the buildings that are part of the collection of this interesting architect, is the one he has on behalf of Gherkin, who for the year 2003 is that he finished building this building made entirely of glass on the outside and that has the general shape of a giant body.

Inside it, a series of offices of a reinsurance company have been installed, which has the name of RE. This is one of the most expensive buildings that can exist in the city of London, but we are not referring to the price that it had in terms of construction, but rather to the services it provides inside.

Well, all its inhabitants know that the word "free" has been completely banished from the internal environment of the Gherkin, which is why you have to make a reservation well in advance to be able to visit each of the spaces of which This building consists, which he jealously performs in small groups of visitors.

Building renovators is that its design has taken great advantage of all natural resources, especially those that have to do with solar energy; the interior lighting of the Gherkin is favored to a large extent by the solar rays that come from the outside, which is why it is that low consumption lamps are available, because an excessive amount of electrical energy is not necessary.

Despite being a rather interesting building, the residents of the place had opposed on many occasions that it has been built and installed on the site, whose main cause was that it broke the scheme and the general appearance of all this area.
