An active group of talented firms based in the city has produced innovative and daring new structures, sealing its reputation as a world capital of contemporary design. This dense concentration of dynamic architects has resulted in sophisticated, artful projects that derive inspiration from contemporary forms and technologies, the city's glorious urban chaos, and its palpable energy." "Author Sam Lubell discusses the city's most visible large-scale projects as well as thoughtful and creative examples of adaptive reuse and renovation in compact urban quarters - a library that incorporates outdoor gathering spaces to revitalize a formerly depressed neighborhood, a primary school that insulates students from street noise while providing rooftop play space, a Victorian-era train maintenance station reconfigured as a popular performing arts venue, a vibrant modern addition to an Edwardian townhouse, and elevated footbridges that facilitate pedestrian traffic in the city's congested center, among others." "London 2000+ presents twenty-nine projects completed since the millennium, representing a broad range of design styles and scales. Prominent structures such as Sir Norman Foster's iconic "Gherkin," the London Eye by Marks Barfield, Daniel Libeskind's addition to the London Metropolitan University campus, and Herzog & de Meuron's Laban Dance Centre are featured alongside buildings by emerging designers to provide a superb representation of the many lively firms that have contributed to the city's architectural renaissance since the beginning of the twenty-first century."--BOOK JACKET. | |
