page013from Building IdeasSince the Lloyds buildings was finished, Roger has gone on to complete a number of substantial projects in a similar idiom, from the spiky steel and glass headquarters of Channel 4 London(1994) to the more curvaceous forms of the Strasbourg European Court of Human Rights and the Bordeaux Law Courts (1995 and 1998). He is now engaged on a new office building for the German car giants Daimler-Benz, in the centre of Berlin. Roger’s former partner (and fellow recipient of a knighthood for his contribution to British architecture) Norman Foster, has likewise assembled an impressive portfolio of significant international commissions – not least of which, the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank headquarters – was completed in the same year as Lloyds and embodies a similar range of architectural preoccupations. Since then Foster has completed the Commerzbank in Frankfurt (1997), the Hong Kong International Airport (1998) and most recently the refurbishment of the Reichstag in Berlin, which became the seat of the unified German government on its completion in 1999. In terms of cultural facilities, Foster has also been extremely successful, with additions to the Royal Academy buildings in London (1991), the Carré d’art in Nimes, France (1993) and the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha, Nebraska (1994) and he is currently remodeling the courtyard and Reading Room of the British Museum in London.
By any standards, what has become known as the British “high-tech” tradition (through other adherents such as Jean Nouvel in France and Rafael Viñoly in the USA have enjoyed somewhat similar success) is a powerful force in contemporary architecture and deserves a careful and critical analysis – not least because its theoretical underpinnings have a far wider influence on the production of buildings today beyond those that proclaim their origins as explicitly as the examples mentioned above. To begin this analysis it will be necessary to carry out an archaeological “excavation”, in order to peel back the accumulated layers of recent practice to uncover its conceptual “ground”.
