Abstract
Though not technically complex, the Millennium Dome in Greenwich was a vast structure to be erected in just 12 months. It required an unprecedented level of collaboration between all those involved in its construction, a process which was encouraged by providing a single large office for the architects, engineers and construction managers.Talking was favoured over writing and the ‘kiss’ principle—‘keep it simple, stupid’—was extensively used to ensure everyone knew what they had to do and when.The end result, an awe-inspiring building of outstanding quality delivered to a tight time-scale and budget, is a testament to the benefits of co-operation in construction.
