The world's foremost architectural monument to celebrate the year 2000, the Dome at Greenwich has, quite simply, captured the public imagination. Conceived and constructed on a scale unprecedented anywhere else on the planet, the project is more than a building to mark the new millennium - it has become a symbol of what it means to be British today. Quite apart from its status as a landmark in the history of time, the Dome represents a milestone of design, a masterpiece of engineering and a testament to the heroic teamwork of the architects, engineers, designers and construction workers who have created it against the background of perhaps the most immovable deadline in history. Granted special access to the Dome, Elizabeth Wilhide has interviewed all the key people on site and pieced together the unique set of challenges they have faced. Produced in partnership with the New Millennium Experience Company, illustrated with around 300 photographs, architectural plans and drawings, and with a foreword by the Prime Minister, The Millennium Dome is the most comprehensive record available of this modern-day wonder.
