The cousins Grimshaw: they have a vision

Article Abstract:

Sustrans, an organisation established by community campaigner John Grimshaw, has received a grant of 42.5 million pounds towards the cost of building a 6,500 mile national cycle path network. The completed project will be a testimony to his dedication to his belief in the bicycle as a civilizing influence on society. In the same way, the buildings designed by his architect cousin Nicholas Grimshaw also act as a testimony. He is one of the most successful architects in the UK, and is particularly well known for the International Terminal at Waterloo station and the British Pavilion at the Seville Expo.

Love me do

Article Abstract:

Architect Terry Farrell has a high public profile in the UK, being on the English Heritage commission and having been awarded an OBE. He has designed some of the most well-known Post-Modern buildings in the UK, and has recently won a commission for a new building for the English National Opera. However, he still attracts considerable criticism, with some observers seeing his work as too colourful and overstated. He is concerned that he is still seen as an outsider, being out of touch with the preferences of most of his own peer group.

Brutal? Only the critics

Article Abstract:

It is vital to build up European civilisation, according to Polish-born architect Daniel Libeskind, who has recently attracted considerable controversy with his very unusual design for an extension to the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, England. He emphasises that the new building is designed to inspire, and its futuristic approach reflects the fact that it will be used as a gallery of future developments. It will act as a focal point for that part of London, and will attract many visitors.
