They are deconstructing this building in central London from the bottom up. Other than the amanzing photo opp, why? Turns out this building is hung from the shiny beam at the top, not unlike a flying-chair ride at the amusement park. You have to take off the hanging floors, then the top beam, then the central pillar.

I hear they'll build from the top down.

That is one of the strangest photos I've ever seen. And tremendously cool too - but it does make me wonder about structural integrity: a column's strength is in the circumference - not in the density. So why would you build a building with a small central column, and then hang curtain floors around it? Weird...
