30 St Mary Axe, known fondly as “The Gherkin”, is a dramatic landmark in London, England. Situated in the main financial district, the 40-storey office has won a host of awards, including the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Stirling Prize in 2004. Arup helped architect Foster and Partners to achieve the ambitious curved form of the building by designing its distinctive diagonal steel structure - a diagrid. Six spiralling light wells allow daylight to flood down onto the floors.
