The Tulip tower, a new public cultural and tourist attraction for London, would become the tallest structure in the City of London.
Foster + Partners has submitted its design for the Tulip, a 305.3-metre tall tower topped with a viewpoint and rotating gondolas, alongside the Gherkin in London.
Norman Foster, founder and executive chairman, Foster + Partners, explains:
“Continuing the pioneering design of 30 St Mary Axe, the Tulip is in the spirit of London as a progressive, forward-thinking city. It offers significant benefits to Londoners and visitors as a cultural and social landmark with unmatched educational resources for future generations.”
Jacob J. Safra, said:
“We are delighted to benefit from the exceptional talent of Foster + Partners in bringing to London this world-class visitor attraction. The Tulip’s elegance and soft strength complements the iconic Gherkin. We are confident in London’s role as a global city and are proud to offer its schoolchildren a state-of-the-art classroom in the sky to appreciate London’s history and dynamism.”
