London 2000+: New Architecture

London boasts a dense concentration of architectural talent, and recent projects by designers based there ingeniously contribute to the city’s noble historic streetscapes in ways that respect and reference centuries past while simultaneously bolstering the metropolis’s reputation as one of the world’s most modern and progressive capitals. London 2000+ portrays twenty-eight 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 Center are featured alongside lesser-known buildings of merit by innovative, emerging designers to provide a superb representation of the many lively firms active in the city today.
