A visual book that focuses on a selection of nation-wide projects funded by the Millennium Commission. Extending beyond preconceived notions of "architecture" or "landscape", these projects - from the Earth Centre in Doncaster to the Millennium Seed Bank at Kew - will create a landscape of effects that serves both a local and global community. As a sustainable, showcase model, the Dome at Greenwich is the book's starting point and, as such, is seen as the first link in an ongoing chain of pioneering projects. As models or catalysts for change, these projects are proof that visionary goals are attainable and that the real effects of new design can be socially transforming. Featuring both environmental and architectural schemes, the book brings together commentary and interviews with those responsible on each project and commissioned photographs. It sets out to demonstrate through words and images the beginnings of a radical new movement that will transform our everyday experiences in the 21st century.
