In the final exclusive interview that Dezeen filmed with Richard Rogers in 2013, the late architect discusses the concept behind his Wimbledon house, 22 Parkside.
The interview forms part of a series Dezeen filmed with Rogers to coincide with a retrospective of his work at the Royal Academy of Arts in London in 2013.

Rogers hoped that the house would demonstrate the potential of prefabricated homes and revolutionise the housing industry.
