Hilton(Beetham tower) /Manchester - Do you know what is the pannel built on the top of the building for?

Answer 1

It has no practical purpose, it is there for aesthetics only. This cystalline blade is supposed to blur the visual boundary between building and sky. Putting it another way, it is supposed to make the building appear to dematerialise at the top. Architects, eh? You couldn't make them up!
