Synopsis

As ever, the development of the city's economic, political and cultural life can be read in the new buildings going up all over the capital. After the excitement and farce of London's millennium buildings (The London Eye, Peckham Library and the Tate Modern on the one hand; the Dome and the infamous swaying Thames footbridge on the other), our rulers have built themselves one of the world's most lavish office blocks; two new skyscrapers are nearing completion at Canary Wharfonce among the capital's most derided properties, now an astonishingly desirable address; industrial buildings are renovated to house new-media firms and the people who own or work in them; and occasionally funding is found for a school or public leisure facility. This fifth edition of London: A Guide to Recent Architecture brings the picture up to date. 150 b/w photographs.
