A challenger to The Shard’s title as the tallest skyscraper in the UK is moving forward with plans to construct a new building designed by Eric Parry Architects that will equal its record height of 309.6 meters (or 1,015.75 feet). The height is limited by aviation safety rules for the City of London, where the planned 1 Undershaft will soon begin construction towards an anticipated early-2030s completion.
As was first reported by The Guardian, "On completion, 1 Undershaft, which is being built on the site occupied by insurer Aviva’s former headquarters, will provide almost 13% of the office space required in the City of London to 2040."

What an unresolved mess.
It looks like something made when a student got drunk in a Gensler office model shop and glued together parts of several unrelated buildings.
The architect is apparently saying "f*ck this" to actually doing their job and "f*ck you" to everyone that will have to look at this thing.
