I have chosen Richard Rogers as my second non web designer. The main reason I chose Richard is because he has sculpted so many skylines now it is incredible. Also I have always been a fan of the millennium dome, mainly for how much different it is to anything, not only in London, but the world.
This is Terminal 4 at Madrid-Barajas Airport. Normally airport terminals are just clinical, straight up and down, with nothing else to them. I mean I would go to this Airport just to see the terminal, then fly back.
Richard Rogers has managed to make spectacular things from usually mundane and boring sites or tasks. One thing that is definitely not mundane or boring, is one of the projects his firm is in charge of at the moment, designing tower 3, which will stand where the twin towers used to be, and will serve as the new world trade centre.
This should be magnificent when finished.
From Richard Rogers work, I take the knowledge that not all of your work has to be a hit straight away, as the millennium dome wasn't liked by most when it was first built, but most people now have managed to warm to it more, so much they keep finding different uses for it so it doesn't just get knocked down like it was planned to be from the start.
