If the Lloyd’s building had been designed “outside in” - TopicsExpress



          

If the Lloyd’s building had been designed “outside in” instead of “inside out”, the occupants would not be threatening to leave, and the Chinese insurer which bought the building this week for £260 million would have been obliged to pay £60 million more for the 27-year-old landmark designed by Lord (Richard) Rogers. Lloyd’s of London chief executive Michael Ward said yesterday that members were fed up with bearing the high maintenance costs of the 290ft tower. He told Reuters: “There is a fundamental problem with this building. Everything is exposed to the elements, and that makes it very costly.” standard.co.uk/business/markets/property-lloyds-of-london-tires-of-inside-out-building-8702708.html?origin=internalSearch
