"As you go south across Waterloo Bridge in London, you are rapidly made aware of an extraordinary phenomenon: a new public building that adds to the urban quality of the British capital. Avery Associates' new glass rotunda at the end of the bridge reflects the essential gentleness of London without being either in the least reticent or mincing"
