-you'll find the Gherkin...

-..the Cheesegrater,

-the Walkie-Talkie...

-..and the Shard.

-This is the Shard.

-I've been inside the Shard.

-It's called the Gherkin

-because it looks like a gherkin.

-I haven't visited the Cheesegrater.

-I want to visit one of those.

-We've visited a lot of places.

-We've gone together - it's fun.

-I'd love to build a tower.

-Today, Jay is visiting an architect

-in Cardiff.

-An architect is a person

-who designs buildings.

-How do you design buildings?

-We draw the design on paper

-and make models, like these.

-Cardboard models.

-We also make small models

-out of plastic.

-What did you use to make this model?

-We usually use paper, card and glue.

-It takes a long time

-to get it right.

-Eventually, it works well.

-I use Lego to build.

-Different coloured Lego?

-Where's this building?

-In the middle of Cardiff.

-What is the building?

-It will have 45 floors.

-It'll be the tallest building

-in Cardiff.

-Will there be a cafe at the top?

-Maybe. People will be able

-to sit out in the sunshine.

-Do you have any pictures?

-Do you have any pictures?

-

-Yes. Would you like to see them?

-Here are pictures of the building.

-It will look like this

-when it's built.

-The surrounding buildings

-are already there.

-Here's the new building.

-It's very tall.

-They've reached Paddington Station.

-Taxi next.

-What will you ask the man

-in the Cheesegrater?

-What work do people do

-in the Cheesegrater?

-No.

-A good question to ask is...

-..how long did it take

-to build the Cheesegrater?

-Maybe two years.

-Maybe two years.

-

-Maybe, maybe.

-100 years.

-100 years.

-

-Not that long.

-They wouldn't have know how to build

-the Cheesegrater 100 years ago.

-Can you see Spiderman at the top?

-Can you see Spiderman at the top?

-

-No.

-Bet you can see for miles

-from up there.

-You could see Dadi on the ground.

-Can you count all the floors?

-One, two, three, four, five...

-..six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

-How many floors

-are in the St Helen's?

-The St Helen's is taller than that.

-Is it? Yes.

-The Leadenhall Building

-surrounding it...

-..but Jay feels excited

-about seeing this one.

-In the lobby,

-there's a model of the building.

-A Lego Cheesegrater.

-They've put people in there too.

-This is Mr Christou,

-the building's boss.

-You go in first and then you look

-directly above you.

-Up in the lift -

-Europe's fastest lift.

-It's so fast.

-We're going higher and higher.

-There's the Gherkin.

-There's the Gherkin.

-

-At the very top...

-..we look through the window.

-We can see the whole of London.

-London is massive.

-We can see the Thames.

-We can see a bridge.

-London is huge.

-You can see all the buildings.

-What do you think of the Gherkin?

-It's not tall.

-It's not tall.

-

-It's not as tall as this one.

-From the top, you can see the Shard,

-the Gherkin and the Walkie-Talkie.

-That's the Shard. We've been there.

-That's the Walkie-Talkie.

-This is really tall.

-It's 224 metres tall.

-Just like a really tall beanstalk.

-The clouds are here.

-This is space.

-This is how tall it is.

-I'm going to build a roof.

-A large one, like this.

-My roof will look like a tall man.

-A building like a man.

-Like Dadi's head with a body

-and arms.

-Then the legs.

-And a nose like this. And a mouth.

-It'll be a tall building.

-As tall as space.

-You reach the top

-by walking up the stairs.

-When you reach your face,

-there's a cafe.

-A cafe?

-If you're hungry or thirsty

-at the top.

-The building will be called Ross.

-I'll live here with my friends.

-There'd be no lift -

-you'd have to talk up the stairs.

-At the end of the visit,

-there's a special surprise for Jay.

-I've had a gift.

-It's a model.

-Thank you, Mr Christou.

-The Cheesegrater.

-Dadi and I will build this

-when we're home.

-I'm so happy now that I've seen

-the Leadenhall Building.

-Cheesegrater. Thank you.
