The work of all the architects within the show were people
that I have always shown an interest in. I am proud to say I am British
considering many of the greatest architects in the world today are British and
are the pioneers for modern architecture as we know it today. Nicholas
Grimshaw, one of my favourite architects and the mind behind one of my
favourite projects ‘The Eden Project’ is a prime example of one of our
countries greatest architects. His work is like no other in his daring and out
of the box approaches which has shaped the architectural world today.
Architecture has changed predominantly over the last 10
years, design has almost gone back to front in the way it is presented with
pipes on the exterior and suspended roofs, something which would not have even
been thought about in previous years. I’m sure in the future, it will no doubt
keep changing, but architecture today is at its absolute peek, not necessarily
looking at practicality but beautiful design.
The group of architects whom were born in the 1930’s are
said to be ‘the most successful generation of architects Britain has ever
produced.’ Foster, Rodgers, Grimshaw and Michael Hopkins were definitely said
to be ahead of their time. Producing work that no one had ever seen before,
taking post-modernism to a new high.
It is clear, just by looking at their work that they have
shaped the future of architecture, being the greatest architects of our time,
it is now only a matter of years to see how they have shaped the mind of the
younger architects this country is waiting for.
