In this feature Bartlett student (and Archinect school blogger), Chris Hildrey, discusses some critical issues in the architecture industry, such as the core sustainability of the practice of architecture, as it relates to other industries, and unpaid labor.

Millbank Pier

The Millbank Millennium Pier by the architecture practice of David Marks and Julia Barfield is the latest addition to the riverbus transport network serving the Thames River. London River Services (LRS) created a new route to provide a riverboat link between Millbank and the Millennium piers, effectively connecting both the Tate Britain and the Tate Modern by a convenient and tourist-friendly method of transportation. The route also includes a stopover at Waterloo pier, on the foot of the London Eye (also designed by Marks and Barfield), thus providing access to the Saatchi gallery, a third important gallery along the route.
