Iconic form, high function - great design is not just about the way things look, it's about how they work. 70 St Mary Axe, christened the "Can of Ham" by the former City of London Planning Officer Peter Rees, is a landmark building that represents the changing shape of a dynamic, forward-looking capital city, home to some of the world's most innovative businesses, who shape the future of commerce and creativity.
