Membrane material was originally used to
polyester
For the fabric of the base material, consider the use of long life later to use the coating
Polytetrafluoroethylene
the
Glass fiber fabric
(Sheerfill made by Chemfab in the United States, thickness 1.2mm.) In order to prevent condensation, the inner layer of sound insulation and heat insulation (Fabrasob made in the United States) has been added, but the interior decoration has not yet been completed, and this layer of film has been stained, affecting the beauty. The change of the millennium dome membrane material has also become a topic of the British media. The original polyester film contract was won by the German company Koch, and some people have criticized the government for not giving the contract to
Germany
. Later, the British government awarded the contract to Birdair, an American company controlled by Japan, on the grounds of using better materials, which again caused opposition from pro-opposition public opinion and protests and claims from Koch.
The Millennium Dome was created as a worldwide celebration of the coming of the century and received both praise and criticism during its construction, but the final structure still shows a beautiful image.

The Guardian
The top ten buildings in the world in the past 10 years of the new century are selected to make comments on the international architecture trend of the 21st century. Ten buildings such as the London Millennium Dome in the United Kingdom stand out, becoming the most representative of the 21st century global ten buildings in the eyes of the Guardian, although the design of the Millennium Dome has been criticized, but the Royal College of British Architects has stood up to maintain the Millennium dome, President Ferguson said: "I don't see how architects can look at a building like this and say it's ugly. It's an elegant structure and at the same time a remarkable piece of engineering."
Trend comment: First of all you have to surprise the world, the more controversial the more famous in history, look at the Eiffel Tower in the last century, you can have a little idea. Architecture has been around for centuries, but the public's ambivalence about iconic buildings has not changed.
