He has built some of this city's key landmarks and there are more to come. There are few people like Richard Rogers who have the capacity to make extraordinary things happen, and that I suspect is really why we are all here tonight to pay tribute to him”.
CSD's Chief Executive, Frank Peters said:
“Lord Rogers has proved through his extensive career that his concern is not purely limited to architectural concepts in the traditional sense.
His work encompasses the wider aspects of design in the built environment, in particular with regard to design for living within urban spaces.
In exposing the internal services of buildings to the outside environment he has demonstrated that building and environmental spaces are interdependent, therefore highlighting the wider design role and responsibility of the architect”.
