内容简介
If ever there was an opportunity to enrich British infrastructure in the new spirit of architecture, the millennium has delivered it. The coincidence of the new century and the availability of vast resources from the profits of the National Lottery has led to a transformation of architecture in Britain unthought of just a few years ago. Not only the largest covered structure in the world - the Millennium Dome, on which views are divided - but fourteen landmark projects including museums, bridges, state-of-the-art visitor attractions, and botanic gardens; plus nearly two hundred smaller projects on the themes of revitalising cities, encouraging environmental sustainability, supporting the community, and investing in education. The selection presented here, made on the advice of our editorial board and consultants includes more than twenty projects from both major architects and innovative and younger practices now given unexpected opportunities, together with an exhaustive listing of all of them.
