🇬🇧The Shard at Sunset – Designed by Renzo Piano as a landmark in South London, it is now dominating the skyline of the capital and counterbalancing the cluster of skyscrapers on the Northern side of the Thames in the City. The reflective and transparent surface of the building generates very interesting light effects, both during the day and at night, lit up with dynamic lightning systems.

La superficie riflettente e trasparente dell’edificio genera effetti di luce molto interessanti, sia di giorno che di notte, grazie a sistemi di illuminazione dinamici.

Brilliant capture. I just did a search on Renzo Piano. I did not know that he was also the architect for the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. I must return to London!!
