The Work of Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners

Nicholas Grimshaw is one of the pre-eminent figures of the British architectural scene. Alongside Norman Foster and Richard Rogers he is a leading light of the group of architects whose work continues the tradition of buildings based on engineering and fine technology. He is responsible for some of the outstanding buildings of the last decade. As Kenneth Powell demonstrates in his introduction, however, Grimshaw's brand of technology is strongly grounded in humanity.

The period 1988-92, which is covered in this first volume of Grimshaw's work, has been particularly fruitful. In Berlin, he is planning a new Stock Exchange, while in London he is building on the success of his printing plant for the "Financial Times" with the stunning new Channel Tunnel Railway Terminal at Waterloo, where a great glazed roof shelters the arrivals and departures of the new European service.

The opening of the Seville Expo 92 saw the completion of Grimshaw's British Pavilion, an architectural and technological tour-de-force with which he carried forward the argument for an ecologically progressive architecture. Feted at the 1991 Venice Biennale - where his theoretical project for an international airport was rated as one of the world's great unbuilt buildings - he is gaining an increasingly assured reputation as a robust and radical designer.
