Fosterland

Article Abstract:

Sir Norman Foster, the UK's most well known living architect, is having a significant impact on the appearance of London, England. He has now reached his 60s, but is set to continue influencing developments in the city for many years to come. Most recently, he has won the contract to convert Wembley Stadium into a very high quality sports and entertainment centre. His team is also working on a scheme to re-model the route through Trafalgar Square, Horseguards Parade and Parliament Square.

A little Buggins goes a long way

Article Abstract:

The 450 million pounds sterling British Library in London, England, which is due to open in 1997, has attracted much criticism. However, it will until mid-Nov 1996 act as the main representative for UK architectural culture at the Venice Biennale, a key event for architects from around the world. It is likely that a much more positive view of the British Library will emerge as a result of this exhibition.
