From the bottom up in London, United Kingdom

February 01, 2011 Category: Cultural, Public Buildings

From the bottom up that located in London, United Kingdom, was designed by Strange but true. Most towers are dismantled from the top down but due to the unusual design of 122 Leadenhall Street, this building is being dismantled from the ground up. The reason is that the floors are hung from a beam at the roof level which is supported by the core. Matthew White, British Land’s project director told the London Evening Standard that “The 15 storey building, constructed in 1965, was one of only four in London to have been constructed in this way – and the first to be demolished.
