Cambridge 2000: Photos of Cambridge, England

http://www.cambridge2000.com/cambridge2000/




The Cambridge 2000 project features over 1,300 photographs taken in Cambridge, England - mainly in the year 2000, but with photographs of newer buildings, and some other buildings that were missed, added after 2000. According to the site, "the photos are mainly of buildings of some interest or representative of a certain style of architecture". While the site's appearance may at first seem slightly rudimentary, the simplicity of its navigation is entirely appropriate for a site of this kind. Users can browse photographs by category, date of construction, architect or builder, date photographed, or by using the excellent interactive location map. Alternatively, it is possible to list all photos by name or date, or to view specific lists covering 100 notable buildings, sites for tourists, most important architects, modernist houses and - perhaps most poignantly - buildings destroyed since 2000. The quality of the photographs is uniformly very good, with each entry including helpful annotation, a location map, and links to photographs of nearby buildings. Providing a fascinating snapshot of 21st century Cambridge, the Cambridge 2000 site is truly an inspirational resource - tantalisingly, however, the site gives no indication of the obviously modest person who created it. Awarded a Sapling Commendation. [GAS, 1 Jan 2006].
