Abstract
Centre piece of the massive Canary Wharf Tower project in London's Docklands area, Cesar Pelli's office tower has seduced even the most hardened architectural critics. Lonon's tallest building, the stainless steel-clad skyscraper has been described as "perhaps the most awe-inspiring building to be built in Britain this century.""It charms everybody within a radius of 20 miles who catches a glimpse of its obelisk form lit up by the setting sun," wrote one noted British critic. Another, from America, wrote that the central tower has a "well-crafted skin that works well in the distant views."
