Lloyd's Building

A work of unparalleled genius or a giant coffee machine? Sometimes referred to as the Inside-Out Building, architect Richard Rogers’s vision for the home of Lloyd’s of London, certainly wears its modernism on its sleeve. The three achingly futuristic main towers and their outside “attachments” simply can’t fail to provoke a reaction. And the retention of the original construction cranes for “decoration” purposes is surely the icing on the architectural cake.
