| Summary |
The story of how an exceptional generation of British architects, led by Norman Foster and Richard Rogers, conquered the globe with their high tech vision. This second episode of the series focuses on the 1980s, when modern architecture was deeply unpopular - and under attack from the Prince of Wales. The architects reveal the dramatic stories behind some of their most famous creations, including Rogers' Lloyd's of London building and Foster's Stansted Airport. Terry Farrell reveals how he was kept in the dark when he was designing the MI6 Headquarters, and Michael Hopkins recalls the challenges of bringing ultra-modern architecture into the traditional world of Lord's Cricket Ground.
