註釋This book presents a history and images of the Financial Times print works, which was built in the East India Docks, London to house the new Financial Times presses when these were moved from the paper's original home in Fleet Street. Designed by architects Nicholas Grimshaw and Partners, it was the winner of seven architectural awards in 1988 (the year of its completion), and a landmark on the eastern approaches to the city. This sheer glass structure, with its delicate metal framing, is an example of the "high-tech" school of design which has been Britain's principal architectural achievement in recent years. The building is of major interest to architects and engineers everywhere for the way it encloses the massive yet sensitive machine installations inside; and in the stylishness and elegance of its construction. Both of these aspects are fully discussed in the text, illustrated in the set of photographs (many in full colour), and recorded in the 14-page section of specially-drawn technical details.
