An architect who once condemned the King for using his “privileged position” to intervene in a London development has been shortlisted to design the national memorial for the late Queen Elizabeth.

The new construction will be carried under supervision of legendary English architect Norman Foster, renowned for his British modernist architecture.

Some have compared the plans for the new Manchester United stadium to a circus tent, but architect Norman Foster has explained the purpose of the ‘vast umbrella’ surrounding the venue.
