London Mayor Boris Johnson has topped out The Crystal, the Siemens centre for urban sustainability being built in London. Outstanding in its architectural and environmental features, Siemens is investing around £30 million in the building, which will serve as a conference and research centre and host interactive exhibitions showcasing infrastructure solutions that promise a higher quality of life in city environments. It is due for completion in Summer 2012.

The use of green technology makes the building an outstanding example of energy-efficient construction. It will be powered completely by renewable energy and harvest rainwater.
