560. Richard Rogers. London as it could be.


Dear Ruth,

"Historically, societies unable to solve their environmental
crises have either migrated or become extinct. The vital
difference today is that the scale of our crisis is no longer
regional but global: it involves all of humanity and the entire
planet." (Richard Rogers)

Respectfully.

423. Lloyd's of London



Dear Jean Francois,

"Form follows profit is the aesthetic principle of our
times" (Richard Rogers)
Nevertheless it is a very good building!

Best.

133. London Millennium Dome


Dear Anna,

This tensile structure is the largest of its type in the
world. The canopy is made of a durable and
weather-resistant plastic, and is 50 m high in the middle.
During the political controversy surrounding the dome
back in the 90's, Wonderbra ran an advertising campaign
with the slogan 'Not all domes lack public support'.

Cheers.
R
