newest skyscraper（摩天大楼）is called the Shard and it cost about 430 millionpounds to build.At a height of almost 310 metres,it is the tallest building in Europe.The Shardhas completely changed the appearance of London.Howe ver,not everyone thinks that it is achange for the better.The Shard was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano.When he began designingthe Shard for London,Piano wanted a very tall building that looked like a spire（尖顶）.Hewanted the glass surfaces to reflect the sky and the city.The sides of the building arentreguIar.So the building has an unusual shape.lt looks like a very thin,sharp piece of brokenglass.And that is how the building got the name：the Shard.Piano says that the spire shape of theShard is part of a great London tradition.The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches ofLondon or the tall masts（桅杆）of the ships that were once on the river Thames.The Shard has 87 floors.At the top,there is an observatory.At the moment the building isempty,but eventually there will be a five-star hotel.There will also be top qualityrestaurants,apartments and offices.Before building work began,a lot of people didnt want the Shard though the plans wereapproved.Now they are still unhappy about the Shard.Some critics say that such a tallskyscraper might be good in a city like New York,but not in London.They say that the bestthing about the Shard is its spire shape.But that is the only thing.There is no decoration,only flat第4 页，共20页surfaces.The Egyptians did that 4,500 years ago.They also think the Shard is too big forLondon.lt destroys the beauty of the city.Other critics dont like what the Shard seems to represent.They say that the Shard shows howLondon is becoming more unequal.Only very rich people can afford to buy the expensiveprivate apartments and stay in the hotel.But the people who live near the Shard are among thepoorest in London.So the Shard seems a symbol of the division in society between the very richand the poor.The Shard now dominates the London skyline.lt is not certain,however,that ordinary Londoncitizens will ever accept it as a valuable addition to the city.12.Londons newest skyscraper is called
