ABSTRACT
The Millennium Centre (shown in Figure 17.1) is for visitors to the Eastbrookend Country Park and Chase Nature Reserve, 80 ha of reclaimed former gravel pits at the eastern end of Greater London. The pits had been filled, in part, with rubble from Second World War bombsites in London. As the local mayor said, ‘One hundred years ago the site was natural and now it has been restored but in between it’s been to hell and back’. For this and many other reasons the project is a paradigm.
