I just noticed, there are really too much pictures of close-up glass (and things that look like glass) in this book...

Much like the ISDN White booklet, they love their textures.
Oh, and to answer a previous question - 1871 was their PO box address. It's mentioned a lot on their early transmissions - London W10 5ZL.

I can't remember when the building was completed, but it *could* be a photoshopped/spherized version of The Gherkin:

Balls, yeah knew it was recentish but not as late as that ... Scrap that then !
Re: Dead Cities turns 20
I've often wondered about that sphere - the one above I always thought was hand-drawn for some reason, something about the greyscale version just lacks any actual depth, looks 2D. The one that graces the cover of Teachings, however, it looks a bit too good for '96 CG (or at least the sort they could afford throughout the rest of their art) but I have literally no idea of what it could actually be, I've never seen anything resembling it elsewhere.

It is a geodesic dome, but which one I don't know. I can't find one that matches it, but this one is close

He drove to work each day, there were four routes he knew, he would never pre-determine which route he was going to take until he was in his car and driving, then circumstance. Once his choice had been determined solely by his mood on that particular day.

Each route had it’s own particular feature,

Now, though there was a new factor to be considered. At first they had loomed too large and obvious to be a serious consideration, clumsy on street corners, they were easily defeated. He’d slow down before reaching their web of detection and then scoff,
