Présentation de l'éditeur :
Over some three decades the Richard Rogers Partnership has attracted
critical acclaim and dozens of prestigious international awards and
honours. This book looks at the extraordinary range of work generated
by the practice, from the celebrated schemes of the '70s and '80s such
as the Centre Pompidou and the iconic Lloyd's of London building, right
up to key projects as diverse as the Millennium Dome in London and a
small school near Kyoto, Japan. All sixteen schemes, however disparate
in terms of function, demonstrate themes which are central to RRP's
design philosophy - flexibility, legibility and environmental
responsibility - above all an emphasis on the importance of delivering
sustainable buildings that celebrate people and public space.
RRP continues to engage in a broad range of projects. The practice
is currently working on Barajas Airport, Madrid, Heathrow Airport's
Terminal 5, the Antwerp Law Courts, a new National Assembly for Wales
in Cardiff and the transformation of Las Arenas, a historic bullring in
Barcelona, into a dynamic cultural and entertainment complex. Other
schemes under way include a new cancer care centre in London,
commercial office developments at Canary Wharf, London, a new library
for the City of Birmingham, a 48-storey office tower at 122 Leadenhall
Street in the City of London and a major mixed-use development in Korea.
