| Synopsis: |
In December 1999, London acquired a new component to its urban Underground system: the Jubilee Line was extended eastwards from Westminster to Stratford East, creating 11 new stations. This ambitious project incorporated innovative engineering techniques and transport planning, outstanding examples of contemporary architecture, and acted as a catalyst for urban regeneration. This book, which accompanies a Royal Academy touring exhibition, is a case study of the impact upon London of the Jubilee Line extension. It includes essays on its conception and engineering; the role of the Line within the political and cultural issues of urban regeneration; and the project in its international context. Each station is described, in terms of both engineering and architecture, and fully illustrated. |
