London, United Kingdom, Dec 19 – <\/i>British architect Richard Rogers designed a series of landmark buildings around the world, including London’s “Cheesegrater” and the famous multi-coloured, pipe-covered Pompidou arts centre in Paris.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rogers died Saturday night aged 88, according to Britain’s Press Association, which cited his spokesperson. One of his sons also confirmed his death to the New York Times, but did not give the cause.<\/p>\n

An Italian immigrant and winner of the prestigious Pritzker prize in 2007, Rogers was a leading member of the “High Tech” school of architecture that also included Norman Foster and Renzo Piano.<\/p>\n

Together they pioneered a hyper-modern style that showcased machines and technology, overturning aesthetic principles to expose the functional elements of buildings.<\/p>\n

Among his other notable buildings are the three-towered Lloyd’s of London headquarters — which also reflected his inside-out style — and the Millennium Dome, also in London.<\/p>\n

In a 2014 BBC television series “The Brits Who Built the Modern World”, Foster and Rogers were presented as the leaders in a generation of 1930s-born architects who helped shape the modern landscapes of London, Paris, Hong Kong, New York and elsewhere.<\/p>\n

– Slow start –<\/p>\n

Born in Florence in 1933, his father was a doctor, his mother a former pupil of the famed Irish writer James Joyce. The family fled the dictatorship of Mussolini, settling in England in 1938.<\/p>\n

Another of his striking French commissions was the courthouse building in Bordeaux \u00a9 AFP \/ FRANCOIS GUILLOT<\/b><\/p><\/div>\n

London was miserable. The family had been comfortably middle-class in Italy but the relocation had reduced them to a single-room flat that ran on a coin meter for heating.<\/p>\n

“Life had switched from colour to black-and-white,” Rogers recalled in his 2017 autobiography “A Place for all People”.<\/p>\n

School was no easier either. Rogers was dyslexic at a time when there was no diagnosis for the condition that “was called stupidity”, he told the Guardian newspaper in 2017.<\/p>\n

He was miserable, he said in his autobiography, “crying myself to sleep every night — years of unhappiness”.<\/p>\n

– ‘Notre Dame of the Pipes’ –<\/p>\n

He left school in 1951 with no qualifications and, after his army national service, managed to gain entry into London’s Architectural Association School, known for its modernism.<\/p>\n

He completed his architecture studies at Yale in the United States in 1962, where he met fellow Brit Norman Foster.<\/p>\n

\"\"

The Pompidou Centre in Paris was one of the buildings he designed with his close friend and collaborator Renzo Piano \u00a9 AFP\/File \/ MARTIN BUREAU<\/b><\/p><\/div>\n

They returned to England in 1964 and with their wives founded the architecture firm “Team 4”, which became known for its technology-inspired designs.<\/p>\n

In 1968, Rogers met the Italian architect Renzo Piano with whom he shared an interest in developing a flexible and anti-monumental architecture.<\/p>\n

“He is my closest friend, practically my brother,” Rogers said of Piano — the designer of London’s Shard tower — he told The Guardian. “We were the bad boys.”<\/p>\n

The same year they met, they won a competition to design a new art gallery in Paris, which became the Pompidou Centre.<\/p>\n

Today a landmark of the city, its facade is covered by thick pipes painted in bold colours, with stairways and escalators on the outside of the building.<\/p>\n

It quickly attracted a range of nicknames, not all of them complimentary: “The Gasworks”, “The “Pompidolium”, “Notre-Dame of the Pipes”.<\/p>\n

– All about the space –<\/p>\n

Rogers completed some 400 commissions in a career punctuated by big-statement, skyline-defining buildings characterised by light structures, prefabricated materials and use of cutting-edge technology.<\/p>\n

He designed the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, Potsdamer Platz offices in Berlin, an airport terminal in Madrid and Three World Trade Center in New York.<\/p>\n

\"\"

One of his most distinctive London creations was the triangle-shaped slanting “Cheesegrater” skyscraper \u00a9 AFP\/File \/ MARTIN BUREAU<\/b><\/p><\/div>\n

He was also behind London’s vast white marquee with yellow crane supports known as the Millennium Dome and then the 02 Centre, a popular venue for events from pop concerts to tennis competitions.<\/p>\n

The “Cheesegrater”, as the 225-metre-tall (738 feet) Leadenhall office building in central London is known because of its sleek wedge shape, opened in 2014.<\/p>\n

Although buildings were Rogers’ world, he insisted it was the space around them that was the key in defining those that worked.<\/p>\n

“The two can’t be judged apart,” he told The Guardian in 2017. “The Twin Towers in New York, for instance. They weren’t great buildings, but the space between them was.”<\/p>\n

He has been married twice. One of his five sons died in 2011.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
