Great Court, British Museum. Whether or not there's anything in this, I don't know, but strolling around the British Museum on my lunch quickly yesterday reminded me of Grand Central Station; the tonality, the tourists, the way it seems to insulate you from the world outside... Sir Norman Foster can be the architectural marmite (you either love his work or hate it), but the Great Court is undoubtedly an example of great architecture, and it's amazing to think that the Great Court has only been in it's current form for 8 years.
