About this title

Synopsis

Das Londoner Architekturb�ro Wilkinson Eyre Architects, 1983 gegr�ndet, macht seit den 1990er Jahren durch eine Vielzahl innovativer und phantasievoller Bauten auf sich aufmerksam. Ein Schwerpunkt bilden spektakul�re und konstruktiv anspruchsvolle Br�cken, zu deren bekanntesten und preisgekr�nten die Gateshead Millennium Bridge (2001) und die Floral Street Bridge (2003) geh�ren. Das B�ro hat eine Vielzahl von Preisen gewonnen, darunter zweimal den RIBA Stirling Prize. Mit der Teilnahme an Wettbewerben f�r den Guangzhou West Tower in China und die Tensegrity Bridge in Washington DC, USA, stellt das B�ro seine zunehmend internationale Pr�senz unter Beweis.

Das Buch dokumentiert etwa 15 Bauten und Projekte ausf�hrlich, wobei die Einbindung in den jeweiligen Kontext von besonderer Bedeutung ist. Zu den vorgestellten Projekten geh�ren u.a. das Magna Centre in Rotherham, UK, das National Waterfront Museum Swansea, UK, den Guangzhou West Tower, China und die Gatwick Airbridge, UK.
