London Modern Architecture

Tuesday, June 16, 2009

Juxtaposing the gothic architecture of traditional London is the sleeker modern architecture of current day England. The city scape takes you through every architectural style imaginable in one city view. Peering across the River Thames the Millennium Footbridge links Bankside with the City though a gate way to modernism. Paralleled by the London Eye, the 30 St. Mary Axe and London City Hall give London an ergonomic motif.

Commanding Thames-side presence is Tate Modern at Bankside and Battersea Power Station. Two works by architect Sir Giles Gilbert Scott during the industrial period. At the Forefront of contemporary design doting the city scape of London are designers Richard Rogers and Norman Foster. The Roger’s Lloyds Building at 1 Lime Street and Diamond-patterned Foster’s Swiss Re headquarters at 30 St. Mary Axe.London not only feasts in the history of architecture but dapples in the sleekness of modern architecture.
