Summary
The final episode of "Brits who Built the Modern World" focuses on the late 1990s to the present day, when Norman Foster, Richard Rogers, Nicholas Grimshaw, Michael Hopkins and Terry Farrell were at the peak of their success - building iconic landmarks across Britain and the world - but also facing some of the biggest controversies of their careers. Rogers reveals what went wrong with the Millennium Dome; Foster recalls the wobbles of London's Millennium Bridge; and Michael Hopkins explains how his new parliamentary building, Portcullis House, became the most expensive office block in Britain. Also featured are the stories behind some of Britain's most popular modern architecture - Nicholas Grimshaw's Eden Project and Foster's 'Gherkin' - and a look at this generation's success overseas, including Terry Farrell's work in China.
