London is growing up - literally - with more than 230 high-rise towers either planned for future construction or already underway, as showcased in the NLA's latest exhibition

今天在NLA开幕的新展览“伦敦的成长”展示了英国首都最近一批正在开发或建造的高层塔楼，同时也展示了包括“碎片”和“苍鹭塔”在内的一些已完工的地标建筑。

这项调查的重点是，伦敦最引人注目的高层开发项目将如何影响其建筑结构，从它们将对其天际线的物理变化，到建筑物将对伦敦作为全球设计和创新堡垒的地位的崛起产生的影响。赫索格罗杰斯·斯特克港合伙公司(RogersStirkHardPartners)等公司的最新建设热潮

目前，伦敦计划有230多座塔楼-其中约80%是住宅，每座至少有20层楼高。NLA主席兼展览策展人彼得·穆雷(Peter Murray)解释说：“伦敦的人们需要了解正在发生的事情以及这些发展对伦敦的影响。”这种规模的事情以前从来没有发生过。我们正在目睹一场历史上的运动。新一代的塔楼将允许建立新的公共空间，并为城市的复兴提供燃料。

包括物理建筑模型，渲染，照片，时间延迟视频投影，甚至一个工作站，游客可以创建自己的伦敦天际线，及时的展览是信息丰富，也鼓舞人心，是对当前和激烈辩论的主题，在首都的高层建筑有价值的贡献。

Canaletto is a residential building due for completion next year. With 31 floors, it will contain 190 luxury apartments, each of which will fit into one of three categories: standard, premier and penthouse

Also due to be finished in 2015 is Buckley Gray Yeoman's 19-floor apartment block at 60 Commercial Road in east London. Designed specifically as student accomodation, each of the 417 units will have a self-contained kitchen and bathroom © Miller Hare

The Rafael Viñoly-designed 20 Fenchurch Street is better known to Londoners by its moniker 'The Walkie-Talkie' due to its distinctive curved silhouette. When it is completed, it will provide over 670,000 sq ft of office space over 32 floors, topped by a three-storey Sky Garden, the tallest public park in the city

Embassy Gardens is currently under development by the Ballymore Group and has been designed by Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios. Sitting in the middle of the new riverfront district that reaches from Vauxhall to Battersea, Embassy Gardens will be made up of a series of interconnected blocks that will range from four to 19 storeys © FCB Studios

Completed in 2012 by Renzo Piano, Western Europe's tallest building, the Shard, stretches up a staggering 1,016 ft. Tucked away in its 87 storeys are, amongst other things, the Shangri-La Hotel and a four-storey viewing gallery offering 360-degree views of London © Sellar Group

Designed by Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, 240 Blackfriars was estimated for completion in March this year. 233,000 sq ft of the building's 20 floors will be given over to offices, meaning a staggering 1 person per 86 sq ft occupancy

Stepping down towards the river, 40 Leadenhall Street by Make Architects will vary in height from 10 to 34 storeys, its tallest end fitting in with the skyscrapers of London's insurance district. Included in the development will be the restoration and integration of a grade II listed building at 19-21 Billiter Street. It should be completed in 2019

Residential skyscraper One Wood Wharf is still in the design stage, overseen by Herzog & de Meuron. Once its planning has been approved, construction will begin on the Isle of Dogs site; work should be completed in 2018

Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners are behind the Leadenhall Building on Gracechurch Street. Offset to the north, the tapered skyscraper will have maximum natural light pouring in to its 52 floors, and is due for completion this summer

Merano, also in the hands of Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, will be a mixed-use development on the Albert Embankment facing Tate Britain. Within the 28 storeys will be a four floor public space with direct access to Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens

It's yet to be announced when Assael Architecture's Blades building will be completed; the design is still awaiting approval. In fact, there is very little information at all about this residential skyscraper beyond it being commissioned by the Ministry of Sound 

One Blackfriars, Ian Simpson's project, will trump AHMM's efforts by 30 storeys. Construction has already begun on this 560 ft building, which will form part of a major mixed-use development on this small portion of the Southbank. One Blackfriars is due to be finished in 2017 © Hayes Davidson

Construction is due to start any time now on the Newington Butts site in Elephant and Castle. 45 storeys have been designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, totaling 462 units of private rental space. 188 of these have been designated 'affordable'. Alongside the residential units will be a new theatre space and retail zones

Kohn Pederson Fox Associates completed Heron Tower in March 2011. With 46 floors in the heart of the City, Heron Tower stands at over 750 ft and offers bars and restaurants (as well as Britain's largest privately owned aquarium) alongside 36 storeys of office space
