The Shard is a massive piece of beautiful architecture. It was finished in 2012 and now stands as the tallest building in the United Kingdom. It is a business building that hoods 95 stories and 11,000 panes of glass. The name came from a newspaper that said the building would look like a shard of glass in the skyline of the United Kingdom and Piano went with it. The building is shaped like a spire as it comes to a point which is open to the public for viewings from the massive structure. The building is fuel efficient and runs cleanly while taking heat from the fuel conversion process and pushing it through the building.

For example, everything red is used for the public to get around the building and blue is for air circulation. My immediate reaction was wondering whether i was done or not.
