The answers, debated in this issue, are both scandalous and interesting. Millennium Architecture holds the mirror up to society in light of the money pumped into the Millennium projects through the National Lottery. It shows culture to be, in spite of lip service to Christ's birth, largely secular and, in Blair's formula, too often created in focus-group enclaves. The scandal of public money supporting the Greenwich Dome and the evasion of the religious content are revealed, amid the transformations that are bringing about a Post-Christian world. In this issue of AD, virtually the only serious debate on the Millennium, the major players speak frankly. A commentary on the few outstanding projects from Britain, Australia, Germany, France and Italy is provided. The opening section on the Millennium Dome reveals the crisis of content posed when over £800 million is spent on celebration, symbolism and entertainment. Charles Jencks, Clifford Longley and David Papineau, writers and philosophers, debate the choice of themes, the Big Idea, and their presentation. Peter Murray gives the precedents - such as the 1851 Exhibition - while Simon Jenkins, a Millennium Commissioner tells how the Dome was conceived amid political indecision. Stephen Bayley, famously exiting from this affair, gives his account of focus-group culture.

Dieser Band analysiert die sozialen, politischen und praktischen Auswirkungen der Architekturfeiern fur das neue Jahrtausend weltweit und untersucht, warum dieses Ereignis gerade im Bereich Architektur eher als Vorwand dient fur die Regeneration und Wiederbelebung der Bauwerke. Die Zukunft der Architektur und die Grunde fur Veranderung und Entwicklung auf internationaler Ebene werden in allen Einzelheiten und anhand wichtiger Projekte weltweit diskutiert. Zu diesen Projekten gehoren u.a. der Millenium Dome von Richard Rogers und Nigel Coates und die Olympiade in Sydney, die eine ganze Reihe neuer architektonischer Meisterstucke hervorgebracht hat.
