  • The £18.2m Millennium Bridge (a Thames crossing linking the City of London at St. Paul's Cathedral with the Tate Modern Gallery at Bankside) was London's newest river crossing for 100-plus years and coincided with the Millennium, it was hurriedly finished and opened to the public on 10 June 2000 when an estimated 100,000 people crossed it to discover the structure oscillated so much that it was forced to close 2 days later. Over the next 18 months designers added dampeners to stop its wobble but it already symbolised what was embarrassing and failing in British pride. Now the British Standard code of bridge loading has been updated to cover the swaying phenomenon, referred to as Synchronous Lateral Excitation. Here a surveyor stands with legs spread peering into a tripod-mounted theodolite to measure its 370 metres (1,214 ft) steel length.

Late afternoon light shines on the corner pillar that bears the name of the building and that of the architect John S Bonnington Partnership, the building's designers. The sun also illuminates the head and shoulders of the middle-aged man who wears a dark suit and walks with hands in pockets. The rest of his body remains in shadow as do the steps he is about to climb up to bridge and pavement (sidewalk) level. Behind him the waves of the River Thames ripple and a vista of the northern bank and the ancient City of London London's oldest and richest autonomous region) can be seen in the distance. The original Roman and medieval bridges would have been near this point.

  • Hostile street architecture designed to prevent homeless people sittind, standing or sleeping in London, England, United Kingdom. Hostile architecture is a controversial urban design trend in which public spaces are constructed or altered to discourage people from using them in a way not intended by the owner. Also known as unpleasant design, defensive architecture, or defensive urban design it is most typically associated with aggression against the homeless in the form of ‘anti-homeless spikes’ studs embedded in flat surfaces to make sleeping rough and impractical. Hostile architecture often targets the citys most vulnerable, both intentionally through anti-loitering and anti-skateboarding measures and unintentionally by making the cityscape hostile to all parts of the public.

  • The Serpentine's 40th Anniversary. The Serpentine Gallery Pavilion is designed by world-renowned French architect Jean Nouvel. This 2010 Pavilion is the 10th commission in the Gallery’s annual series, the world’s first and most ambitious architectural programme of its kind. It will be the architect’s first completed building in the UK. The red structure reflects the sky, has red glass to look through and provides space for people to come and relax. The design for the 2010 Pavilion is a contrast of lightweight materials and dramatic metal cantilevered structures. The entire design is rendered in a vivid red that, in a play of opposites, contrasts with the green of its park setting. In London, the colour reflects the iconic British images of traditional telephone boxes, post boxes and London buses.

  • The renowned maze designer Randoll Coate works in his studio on more labyrinth plans. Gilbert Randoll Coate (8 October 1909 – 2 December 2005) was a British diplomat, maze designer and "labyrinthologist". With interests in art and history, Coate completed over 50 new mazes in Britain and around the world. His designs are particularly noted for their symbolism. Although it is rarely possible to see a large maze in plan view, they would often incorporate hidden shapes and references of significance to the clients who had commissioned the maze. Notable work includes: Bath Festival Maze (1984) — a stone path in Beazer Gardens, Bath; a yew hedge maze at Blenheim Palace for the Duke of Marlborough; El laberinto de Borges (Borges Memorial Maze) — San Rafael, Mendoza, Argentina. He died in Le Rouret, near Grasse, France on the 2 December 2005, aged 96.

  • A group of American interior design students sketch buildings adjacent while sitting on steps of public building in Florence's Piazza Di Annunziata. The small class is made up mostly of young women and there is a young man who is apparently teaching one woman how to capture the finer points of the architecture opposite. They all have sketchpads on their laps and are either looking into the distance, memorising the landscapes - or using pencils to reproduce these features on to paper. Florence and other Italian cities are full of young Americans studying music and painting, art and design, completing and complimenting US-based courses often as foreign exchange students or as residential terms.

  • The renowned maze designer Randoll Coate works in his studio on more labyrinth plans. Gilbert Randoll Coate (8 October 1909 – 2 December 2005) was a British diplomat, maze designer and "labyrinthologist". With interests in art and history, Coate completed over 50 new mazes in Britain and around the world. His designs are particularly noted for their symbolism. Although it is rarely possible to see a large maze in plan view, they would often incorporate hidden shapes and references of significance to the clients who had commissioned the maze. Notable work includes: Bath Festival Maze (1984) — a stone path in Beazer Gardens, Bath; a yew hedge maze at Blenheim Palace for the Duke of Marlborough; El laberinto de Borges (Borges Memorial Maze) — San Rafael, Mendoza, Argentina. He died in Le Rouret, near Grasse, France on the 2 December 2005, aged 96.

  • Empty rigid-design gas holders architecture at the Oval, South London. The steel frames are seen against an afternoon sky at Oval, in south London - their strengthening architecture showing how the gasometer design has been an effective method storing gas for a hundred years. The Oval Gasholders at The Oval cricket ground, in spite of no longer being used, are now a grade 2 listed structure. Typical volumes for large gasholders are about 50,000 cubic metres, with 60 metre diameter structures. Gasholders tend to be used nowadays for balancing purposes (making sure gas pipes can be operated within a safe range of pressures) rather than for actually storing gas for later use.

  • A detail showing the fine stitching of a cotton dress by couturier Margaret Howell in the company's workshop factory in Edmonton, North London. England. In close-up, the eye is drawn into the centre of focus where the buttons are held in a criss-cross stich in its four holes. There are pins in this still prototype design as it evolves from an idea on paper to an actual garment. The fine check pattern of its fabric is beautifully sewn together in this fine and intricate dress. Howell is one of Britain's more understated of couture brands alongside more flamboyant personalities. Howell admits to being "inspired by the methods by which something is made .. enjoying the tactile quality of natural fabrics such as tweeds, linen and cotton in a relaxed, natural and lived in look."

  • The three letter IATA codes for some of the world's airport destinations have been used as part of an art design in a plaza outside Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5. An arc of these neon-lit codes form an arch on a panel near one of the 1,500 semi mature trees. Illuminated in a sequence, they are all lit here before the sequence re-starts and they all become dimmed. Terminal 5 was created by the Richard Rogers Partnership (now Rogers Stirk Harbour and Partners) and has the capacity to serve around 30 million passengers a year. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009).
