Officially opened by Lord Foster last night at a party for the V&A's closest 1,000 friends, the architecture gallery does not quite make up for the museum's lack of commitment to its spectacular Spiral gallery, designed by Daniel Libeskind, a project it finally abandoned last month. It should, though, bring more than a little of the story of architecture, in all its complexity as well as its reason, order, art, science and imagination, to millions of random gallery-goers for whom the Mother Art can seem a daunting matriarch.
