A skyscraper that will be the tallest in the City of London could also be the model for a new generation of “smart buildings”.
With facial-recognition entry, at-desk climate control and a façade designed using the principles of Formula One aerodynamics, experts say that 22 Bishopsgate brings together an “unheard of” range of technologies.
Structural work on the 278m (912ft) tower — which stands about 300 metres from the Bank of England and a stone’s throw from Lloyd’s of London — will be completed in May at a cost of more than £1bn.
