30 St Mary Axe (The Gherkin)

30 St Mary Axe (The Gherkin) in London, United Kingdom, by Foster + Partners, rebuilt as an approximate visual BIM model from 4 published architectural references. The building measures 56 × 56 m on plan and 180 m tall, across 4 named levels: Plaza and lobby, Office floor family (nominal), Upper restaurant platform (nominal), Glazed crown.

Modelled detail includes bulging circular profile tapering to a rounded crown, six dark helical light-well bands and triangulated diamond glazing.

The template ships with 5 saved scenes — a street-level approach, 3 viewpoints from the building's own observation set, and an aerial three-quarter — and carries the real site at 30 St Mary Axe, London EC3A 8BF, UK, so map context and sun angles line up when you open it. It is an approximate visual reconstruction for design and presentation use, not a measured survey, certified BIM, engineering model or construction document.
