[edit] The Willis Building
51 Lime Street is to be called The Willis Building (see British Land site) --DominicSayers 14:04, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Architect?
This article lacks something vitally important, who is the architect? Some dates on when it submitted a planning application, planning approval, ground breaking etc. would be useful too. Information on what happened before construction such as changes to design (if any) and problems with the planning could be added. These would all make this article a lot better - Erebus555 18:38, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
- Oh, its Foster and Partners. One of Lord Foster's earliest projects was the original Willis Faber Dumas building in Ipswich. The information is already in the article, but you have to look very closely to find it - just click on the first image in the gallery. Keep clicking through until you get a full size version then scroll over to the information sign on the side of the building. The name of the architects are mentioned on that sign ;-) It would probably be a good idea to mention it more explicitly. -- 18:52, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
- Aha. Thanks for that. Foster and Partners are great architects. I will try and get other information on what I said previously to add to the article. - Erebus555 18:54, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
