Over some three decades the Richard Rogers Partnership has attracted critical acclaim and dozens of prestigious international awards and honours. This book looks at the extraordinary range of work generated by the practice, from the celebrated schemes of the '70s and '80s such as the Centre Pompidou and the iconic Lloyd's of London building, right up to key projects as diverse as the Millennium Dome in London and a small school near Kyoto, Japan. All sixteen schemes, however disparate in terms of function, demonstrate themes which are central to RRP's design philosophy - flexibility, legibility and environmental responsibility - above all an emphasis on the importance of delivering sustainable buildings that celebrate people and public space. Richard Rogers is Chief Advisor on Architecture and Urban Design to the Greater London Authority, and a member of the Mayor of Barcelona's Urban Strategies Advisory Council; he was also chairman of the British Government's Urban Task Force. This passion for urban design is reflected in much of the practice's ongoing masterplanning work - with significant projects currently under way in London, Lisbon and Rome and New York. How will the Richard Rogers Partnership fare in the 21st century?
