The Shard (also known as the Shard of Glass) is a skyscraper in Southwark, London. At 1,016ft high, this modern structure towers above the old buildings people like Prince Charles wish to preserve. Although campaigns to stop the construction of buildings such as the Shard are fighting to keep London’s hostory; glass buildings are taking over the city. Unfortunatley for the ancient architecture, building such as the Shard have an advantage when it comes to height as well as the sun and nightlights illuminating the tower.
