Architectural Review, The, Sept, 2002

'Present in the past' is the theme of our October issue. Raj Rewal has undertaken the extraordinarily difficult task of adding a great library to the Lutyens and Baker government complex in New Delhi. Giancarlo de Carlo's work in Urbino has over decades been a brilliant reworking for our times of wonderful inherited fabric: we show his latest contribution to the city.

More radically, Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners have reinterpreted the medieval scale of the City of London with a bold new office building. Renzo Piano has taken an old sugar factory in Parma, Italy and reinterpreted it as the city's concert hall; similarly, Ignacio Mendaro has transformed a fine convent church in Toledo, Spain into the city's cultural centre with Scarpa-like daring and respect for the past.
