The Millenium Dome
Since the Greenwich meridian and thus the world time finds its origin in
Greenwich, in Britain the idea has been conceived that it should be the place where the
world shoufcf-celebrate its step into the new millenium.
The centre of the Millenium celebrations is the Millenium Dome, the largest single
public assembly building in the world. The architect of the Dome, Richard Rogers, is
famous for such works as the Porttpidou Centre, opened in 1977, and the Lloyd's of
London building.
The Dome is an exceptional example of building engineering. The Dome itself
provides an enclosure for the exhibition to protect the exhibits and the visitors from the
weather.
