From the Zip Up House and the Pompidou Centre, to Lloyds of London and the Millennium Dome, Talking Buildings paints a vivid and immersive portrait of an architect who never stopped developing his social, environmental, ethical and political passions, and for whom buildings were the physical manifestation of his beliefs.
Richard Rogers was an architect passionate about public spaces and integrating public space into private commissions. His architecture offered radically innovative and diverse solutions to essential concerns, making manifest the human-centred thinking and scale at the heart of his designs. His style was very personal, and his voice can still be heard through his architecture today. His public architecture opens up forums for many voices to intersect. The show will feature drawings and film, and provide an insight into the work and architectural voice of one of our leading modernist architects.
This exhibition is open to everyone, particularly enthusiasts of architecture and architectural history, modernism, the development of innovative ideas, and the concept of expressing a voice through inspirational design.
