The Gherkin, officially known as 30 St Mary Axe in London, is made up of approximately 24,000 individual glass panels. These panels are part of its distinctive aerodynamic shape, allowing for both aesthetic appeal and energy efficiency. The design utilizes a double-skin façade, enhancing insulation and reducing energy consumption.
