In 1995, he was the first architect ever invited to give the BBC Reith

Urban Task Force. He was Chief Advisor on Architecture and Urbanism to

Richard Rogers has served as Chairman of the Tate Gallery and Deputy

Richard Rogers’ practice - Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners (formerly
Richard Rogers Partnership) - was founded in 1977 and has offices in
London, Barcelona, Madrid, New York and Tokyo. It is best known for
such pioneering buildings as the Centre Pompidou, the headquarters for
Lloyd’s of London, the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg and
the Millennium Dome in London.
The practice has worked – or is currently working – on a wide range of
projects including: Maggie’s Centre in London, winner of the 2009
Stirling Prize, Terminal 4 at Madrid Barajas Airport, winner of the
2006 Stirling Prize, Terminal 5 at London’s Heathrow Airport and two
underground stations in Naples; the Leadenhall Building in the City of
London, Riverside South, a major office development in Canary Wharf,
East London, one of the office towers on the World Trade Center site in
New York and two office developments in Washington DC; mixed-use
developments in Seoul and Florence; major residential developments in
west London and in Taipei and the Oxley Woods housing scheme in Milton
Keynes; Bodegas Protos, a winery in Spain; and an extension for the
British Museum in London. The practice has a wealth of experience in
urban masterplanning with major schemes in London, Lisbon, Berlin, New
York, and Seoul. It is participating in the Greater Paris project,
which looks at the future of the city as a more integrated metropolitan
region as it faces the social and environmental challenges of the 21st
century.
