Richard Rogers dies aged 88
Millennium Dome architect Richard Rogers has died at the age of 88.
A spokesman said he had “passed away quietly” on Saturday evening – BBC News
From the Centre Pompidou in Paris (1976), to the Lloyd’s building in London (1984), his work had huge influence on the architectural world.
I only met him once, at the Architecture Foundation in London with my boss Eva Jiricna (ex-Richard Rogers), but his influence was already pervasive on my thinking before starting at architecture school in 1989. There were a number of British architectural programmes on television that analysed his buildings alongside the other two major UK architects – Norman Foster and James Stirling. Whilst at Eva Jiricna’s we won the chance to design the Faith Zone within the Millennium Dome. Seeing the size and complexity of the overall project was a reminder of just how talented Richard was. I admired the way he discussed architecture in frequent television appearances, with a gentle personable air that is not so sommon amongst famous architects. Despite his hugely impressive achievements he retained an air of humbleness.
