St. Mary Axeeeeeee
[63] Eduardo L. Ramirez on July 24, 2012 07:52:43
I love the Gherkin's cladding but I don't like the shape - TT on the other hand is a complete masterpiece
[62] AlexsAmazingIpad on July 24, 2012 07:32:15
Both good, but 30SMA is so classy, just like T42 next to it,:)
[61] DzhendoyanV on July 24, 2012 01:08:45

I don't like the Mary Axe Bulding :c Vote for TT
[57] JLAG on July 21, 2012 02:33:27
Love them both but if I had to pick one for my hometown it would be TT without doubt.
[56] RIPVAN on July 20, 2012 15:12:10

I thought 30 st Mary Axe was hated in London? :S remember i read that in metro
[53] Alexenergy on July 20, 2012 04:05:48
TT is even more individual instead of falloscraper like the London's one :(
[52] Unregistered on July 19, 2012 17:08:00
St. Mary Axe, so much more iconic
[51] Anonymous-scraperfan on July 19, 2012 16:23:07
Gherkin is way overrated, what gives it so much popularity?

This is a tough one but I had to go with 30 St Mary Axe. These two should have been in the final. Every city in the world would be happy to have either of them.

[42] staff on July 19, 2012 06:58:44
Both are amazing buildings (they deserve to go head to head in the final instead), but due to London forumers outnumbering Malmö forumers 50-fold I bet 30 St Mary Axe will win.
[41] Carl MD on July 19, 2012 06:25:28

I voted for the Gherkin, not out of Bias (I didn't vote for The Shard for example). I genuinely love the building, one of those skyscrapers which genuinely inspires me.
[31] Ion Cannon on July 19, 2012 04:37:51
Gee this is a hard one, the shape of Turning Torso is more interesting, but the cladding on 30SMA is simply top notch.

[29] SO143 on July 19, 2012 04:02:04
i prefer the glassy tower with quality cladding. please do some research first before you vote lol. there are plenty of close up shots on flickr. ta :)

[25] ffinybryn on July 19, 2012 02:09:31
30SMA is an icon, like the Eiffel Tower. Ahead of its time. Different by being 'simple' rather than complex.
[24] wjfox on July 19, 2012 01:58:32
Both wonderful skyscrapers, but I had to vote for 30SMA.
[23] SE9 on July 19, 2012 00:31:14
30 St Mary Axe. Beautiful.
[22] Babel_ambitions on July 19, 2012 00:01:27
Both cool, both rotate through 3 dimensions, but the Gherkin is more beautiful.

I find the Gherkin EXTREMELY overrated. It looks like a bullet, or something even worse. I definitely vote for Torso.
[14] DZH22 on July 18, 2012 20:19:11
The winner of this will come in second
[13] eddyk on July 18, 2012 17:53:28

[12] WinstonCharles on July 18, 2012 17:35:46
I agree, 30 St Mary Axe is stunning in the flesh (or steel/glass woteva) This is my pick to win the eurocup!
[11] SO143 on July 18, 2012 17:05:04
the cladding of 30 st Mary Axe ( the gherkin ) is perhaps the best i have ever seen. so much details in each section of the glass. the tower also looks absolutely magnificent whether in a sunny day or cloudy day, it always looks fantastic in any weather condition. the gherkin is also a very well known icon of the powerful financial centre of the world!!!
