	In 1993, the "[[Sunday Times]]" and the [[Architecture Foundation]] held an open competition to design a landmark for the [[21st century|millennium]]. The design submitted by Barfield and Marks, which they called the [[London Eye]], failed to win the competition; in fact, none of the submissions were selected by the judges. The architects decided to erect the landmark anyway, completing it in March 2000 at a cost of £85 million.
