Ken Shuttleworth, chief architect of the project, said that only interesting and original creations can cause a sharp reaction from others, and modest and "walk-through" objects are not worth working on at all. Not at all discouraged by the disagreement of the public, the architect is going to leave the firm of Norman Foster, where he worked as a student, and find a job in a smaller office (Foster employs 600 people in branches of the workshop around the world, and they are simultaneously involved in more than a hundred projects) …
Shuttleworth is known in the professional world for his participation in the work on the project of the Mayor's Office of Greater London, as well as the reconstruction of Wembley Stadium and the Commerzbank building in Frankfurt am Main, today the tallest skyscraper in Europe.
