Abstract In this paper, we shall study the facts and figures of the Lloyd’s Building, London and understand the circumstances prevailing at that time. Even though Richard Rogers was a renowned architect, there were some people who were not impressed by his designs. Probably, the reason was that Rogers was a modernist and designed building based on futuristic vision. The buildings designed by him were in contrast with the old designs. But Rogers took precautions that his designs did not have a demeaning effect on the surroundings. Gradually Rogers started getting appreciation and won great accolades. The Lloyd’s Building is one of his master pieces that stand tall even today. The name of Lloyd’s Building was derived from Edward Lloyd’s Coffee House during the years of 1700. The coffee shop was used as a meeting place where owners of ships used to meet the insurers in order to decide the insurance premiums of various shipments. Phillips said, “The Lloyd’s insurance market has always been a place of ‘information exchange’: in its early days this was carried out in the coffee house run by Edwin Lloyd, where sea captains and financiers met to exchange information on shipping and the movement of cargo” (Phillips). During the ensuing 300 years, Lloyds became a synonym for insurance and today, it is a world renowned name in the insurance sector. After two earlier buildings (1928 and 1958) were felt to be small and keeping in view the increasing customer base, during the year 1970, London’s Lloyd insurers hired Richard Rogers as architect for their innovative headquarters to be constructed on One Lime Street in London, England. Richard Rogers was a renowned architect famous for his modern designs. Powell et al suggested that, “The Lloyd’s Building epitomizes Richard Rogers’ concern with overt technical imagery” (Powell and Rogers). The main contractor for the project was Bovis. The structural services engineers were Ove Arup & Partners. Lloyds wanted to build up their worldwide image by constructing this building with a unique design. In creating the design of the Lloyd’s Building, Rogers took inspiration from his earlier jobs. “Rogers’ sources for the building were many. The immediate precedent is his Pompidou Centre, Paris (1971), which he designed with Renzo Piano” (Riba). At the time when the construction of the Lloyd’s Building started, the British government was in the process of bringing about some major changes in the government policies, mainly pertaining to the labor class. Some changes that were being proposed were: increasing the labor opportunities, increasing self employment opportunities, improving the market conditions of women laborers, etc. Margaret Thatcher tried to improve the employment conditions in the United Kingdom but in this process, the Union powers experienced a decrease. Also, the reforms were not able to improve the wages to the unemployed. But of course, there was a substantial decrease in the unemployment. In such circumstances, the construction of the Lloyd’s Building was welcomed by the labor class as many job opportunities were created. The construction of the building started in the year 1978 and it was completed in 1986. Lloyd’s Building was inaugurated on 18 November 1986 by Queen Elizabeth II. The
