This book presents a
selection of the most exciting building projects in London since the
year 2000. The first decade of the twenty-first century has marked out
London as arguably the pre-eminent international city for innovative and
ambitious architecture, with the design and construction of imaginative
buildings of all types. Projects range in size and budget from such
landmark structures as the ‘Gherkin’ (30 St Mary Axe) and the
forthcoming ‘Shard’ (London Bridge Tower) to such cultural projects as
the Young Vic theatre and the new Tate Modern extension; from offices,
schools and hospitals to shops and private houses. With more than 650
stunning photographs, drawings and renderings, and critical texts by
well-known architecture writer Kenneth Powell, this is a detailed and
authoritative portrait – indispensable to professionals and the public
alike – of a world city avid to embrace the best of the new.
- Profiles over 150 architectural projects of all types and sizes across the whole of London
- Authoritatively written by a leading architecture critic, and lavishly illustrated throughout with plans, renderings and photographs
- An essential reference for anyone interested in the changing urban landscape of one of the world's most vibrant cities
