Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the specific structure mentioned in the question.
The structure is the Millennium Bridge, a modern pedestrian bridge in London.
The question asks for the architect of this specific bridge.

Sir Norman Foster is credited with the design of the Gherkin, City Hall, and the Millennium Bridge.
Recalling the specific list of works for each architect is necessary to distinguish between them.
