This blue hour photograph was taken from Tower Bridge looking towards the iconic Tower of London and The City during my recent visit to London. The modern buildings in City of London contrasted with the historic Tower of London, with its distinctive roof tops. These included the Walkie Talkie (with a sky garden at its top floors) and some on-going construction projects.
It was a windy evening with drifting clouds. The slowly drifting cloudlets could be seen above London City.

… the Walkie-Talkie, the Scalpel, the Cheesegrater and 22 Bishopsgate, now masking the Gherkin, all disfiguring the City skyline :-/
The "sky garden", is located on the 36th, 37th and 38th floors of the 160 meter high Fenchurch Building, 20 Fenchurch Street, London, which is colloquially known as the walkie-talkie building on account of its shape. The garden consists of two sloping terraces of drought-resistant plants from the Mediterranean and South Africa. It is open to the public by appointment, and contains both bars and restaurants. From the viewing areas, it is possible to get a 360° view of the London Skyline.

... so nennen die Londoner liebevoll das Ungetüm von Hochhaus, was sich hier frech ins Altstadtbild schiebt.
Seit meinem letzten Besuch in der britischen Hauptstadt sind nun fast 4 Jahre vergangen und sicher seitdem noch einige neue Skyscraper hinzu gekommen...
The name given to 20, Fenchurch Street. Taken from The Garden at 120, also in Fenchurch Street through the glass wall surrounding the roof area, hence some reflection in the top left.

A view across from the end of Tower Bridge to the Shard, City Hall, HMS Belfast and on the right the Walkie Talkie building, on the way home from work to London Bridge Station. The sunsets continue this year, although maybe I am looking for them more or just have better timing. Love the walkers in this and the reflections, London at its best.
20 Fenchurch Street [aka 'The Walkie-Talkie'] London - 2014 - Rafael Viñoly Architects, P.C. - London England
Rafael Viñoly, FAIA, JIA, SCA, Int. FRIBA, Founder of the eponymous firm Rafael Viñoly Architects, passed away on Thursday, March 2 at the age of 78.
Born in Montevideo in 1944, Viñoly attended the University of Buenos Aires, where he received a Master of Architecture from the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism in 1969. Viñoly c0-founded the Estudio de Arquitectura Manteola-Petchersky-Sánchez Gómez-Santos-Solsona-Viñoly (MSGSSV) while he was still completing his studies.
Following the 1976 military coup in Argentina, Viñoly moved to the United States, taking a guest lecturer at the Harvard Graduate School of Design in 1978. He soon relocated to New York City, founding Rafael Viñoly Architects in 1983. His first project in New York City was the adaptive reuse of a former high school into the John Jay College of Criminal Justice. Viñoly was also responsible for transforming an old library building into the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture at the City College of New York.
Viñoly was also the recipient of the 1995 AIA New York Medal of Honor, the chapter’s highest recognition to a member for distinction in the profession.
Personal Tributes
“Working alongside Rafael Viñoly for 25 years, his sudden loss is an astounding shock. As someone who entered the firm soon after graduating from architecture school, I am extraordinarily grateful for the professional opportunities that the firm under his leadership provided, and for the collaborative relationships and friends I’ve developed.
Rafael believed in creating an infrastructure to support each architect-in-training to achieve their greatest potential, with the understanding that it would be better for the person, the project, and the office culture. He also extended his personal belief that architects should not be constrained to a particular building typology or service phase to the office staff, ensuring that our curiosity would be stimulated and our intellects challenged throughout our tenure in the practice.
As an architect leading projects significant to their communities and industries, Rafael was wholeheartedly committed to leading each project to be the best that it could be, often turning stones not previously looked under to identify revolutionary kernels that could be seeded to transform districts and engage communities in ways not previously envisaged, or to unabashedly borrow from other disciplines if the idea supported a particular project’s ideals. As his partners, we are working to embody this legacy as the firm evolves going forward.

20 Fenchurch Street, London. The site was originally Kleinwort Benson (banking) and was the first 'skyscraper' in the city. knocked down to make way for the new development.
Another image from my rainy misadventure to London over the weekend. Modern architecture at it's finest, sleek lines and mammoth proportions.
20 Fenchurch Street, a 34 storey structure in the City of London, also referred to as The Walkie-Talkie Building because of its shape.
Architect: Rafael Viñoly
Walkie Talkie Tower along the River Thames in London. During the summer of 2013 the Walkie Talkie Tower was known for melting cars on the street below due to the reflection of the sun on the curved frontal façade of the building. Simply google walkie talkie tower to find out more. Hope you have a wonderful week! :)

From this vantage point, St Pauls Cathedral looks like it sits alongside 20 Fenchurch Street (aka the Walkie Talkie). Canary Wharf and London Docklands are behind and yet someway in the distance. Rafael Viñoly, the architect of the 'Walkie Talkie' died the month this shot was taken, March 2023, at the age of 78. As he himself said, "We made a lot of mistakes with this building..."
