Nice to have it at a foggy distance so that all the monstrous carbuncles look a bit like an illusion. I'm with Prince Charles on architecture although I know the world is moving beyond him (and me).

I haven't seen the Shard close up but from a distance it's magical.
I think every age commits good architecture and bad architecture. It's my impression that most of skyscrapers in central London are ugly things.
