Temple of shopping with a 21st century roof

The is no doubt to me that the roof at St Pancras railway station is iconic.
A pure Victorian masterpiece.
The magnificent station (and its roof) was opened in 1877. 
All created by Sir George Gilbert Scott.
In 2010 it still looks amazing.

However, I have realised what a wonderful roof hangs above the the 'temple of shopping' Westfield Centre in Shepherd's Bush
It is vast.  The area for shopping is equal to 30 football pitches.........
The roof was designed by Knippers Helbig Engineering in Stuttgard, Germany to resemble a pebble dropped in water.
I think it is as equally iconic as St Pancras station roof.
Do you?
