The Gherkin, officially known as 30 St Mary Axe in London, features a distinctive design characterized by a series of curved and tapered shapes. Its aerodynamic form resembles a bullet or an elongated egg, which is achieved through a series of glass panels arranged in a spiral pattern. The building's unique shape not only contributes to its aesthetic appeal but also enhances its energy efficiency by reducing wind resistance. Overall, the combination of curves and geometric elements creates a striking silhouette on the London skyline.
