was designed before
Norman Foster's
'gherkin' in London. It is
designed to give the
impression of a shoot of
water - a geiser. This
explains the shimmering
colours that run through
the building. There is
also a pool of water
running around the
bottom of the building
like a moat. The building
has three layers of 'skin'
- one of corrugated iron,
one of glass and one of
coloured windows.

Telecommunications Tower
The tower is a perfect
example of Norman
Foster's 'high tech' style.
He is one of the pioneers
of this style - the concept
of exposing the parts of
the building that are
normally concealed - the
