Inspirational Building #1

The Swiss Re Tower
(constructed 2001-2004)
For me, architect is a person who build hoses which others/clients can call as a 'home'.
That facinated me and that is why I wanted to become an architect.
Therefore I do not have a building that inspired me to become an architect.
However as I started to study more in depth, I found some buildings that inspire me as a future-architect.
The Swiss Re Tower in London is one of them.
The reason I find this building so inspiring is that this beautiful creation has that "Wow-factor" and shows the architect, sir Norman Foster's characteristics.
