“Blending modernist ideals with sympathy for the surroundings, the Lloyds’ insurance building is perhaps a post-modern masterpiece”

No applied decoration, and a definite element of simplification of form – not sure the ‘OU’ are correct here, but Rogers is ushering in the Postmodern… Has the Lloyds Building an element of Cyborg about it? Cyborg as receptor (Urry, Sheller) “which we sense place and movement, and construct emotional geographies”.

Is the Lloyds building the ‘Master Cyborg’ ? – collecting information, signals, disassembling and reassembling…

But really, has this some truth? Currency transfer (and dealing), we know, are really only data (information) at this level of interaction! The Lloyds cyborg, plotting the downfall of global economies… LOL
