About Poultry 1
Work on the building started in 1985 but it was not finished until 1998. Work was suspended in the early 1990’s due to the poor economy. Unfortunatly during this period tastes change and the building has never been fully appreviated, Prince Charles once refered to it as "glass stump". The archtect was James Stirling, and the developer Lord Palumbo. Palumbo originaly wanted to place a building designed by Mies van der Rohe on the site, but the plan was rejected at a public enquiry.
