the Millennium Dome was designed by Richard Rogers in 1999. The Dome is 320m in diameter and 50m high at its centre. The fabric structure is suspended from twelve 100m high steel masts, held on a net of more than 72 km of high strength steel cable. The roof fabric is self-cleaning PTFE-coated glass fibre with a minimum life of 25 years, which can be renewed in sections if necessary. A two-layer fabric provides insulation to prevent condensation.
English Partnerships has invested over ￡200m in developing the site. The importance of a natural environment has also been recognised by English Partnerships throughout the development at Greenwich Peninsula. Three main areas of parkland have been created including an ecology park, and extensive works have been carried out to improve the riverside environment.
