Richard George Rogers, Baron Rogers of Riverside (23 July 1933 – 18 December 2021) was a British-Italian architect noted for his modernist and constructivist designs in high-tech architecture. He was the founder at Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, previously known as the Richard Rogers Partnership, until June 2020. After Rogers' retirement and death, the firm rebranded to simply RSHP on 30 June 2022.

Rogers was perhaps best known for his work on the Pompidou Centre in Paris, the Lloyd's building and Millennium Dome, both in London, the Senedd building, in Cardiff, and the European Court of Human Rights building, in Strasbourg. He was awarded the RIBA Gold Medal, the Thomas Jefferson Medal, the RIBA Stirling Prize, the Minerva Medal, and the 2007 Pritzker Prize.{{TOC limit|2}}

Early life and career

File:Lloyds building, London at night.jpg in London at night]]

Richard Rogers was born in Florence, Tuscany, in 1933 into an Anglo-Italian family. His father, William Nino Rogers (1906–1993), was Jewish, and was the cousin of Italian Jewish architect Ernesto Nathan Rogers. His Jewish ancestors moved from Sunderland to Venice in about 1800, later settling in Trieste, Milan and Florence. In October 1938, William Nino Rogers came back to England,{{cite book|author=Appleyard, Brian|title=Richard Rogers|date=1986|publisher=Faber & Faber|isbn=0-571-13976-0|page=115}} having fled Fascist Italy and anti-Jewish laws under Mussolini.

Upon moving to England, Richard Rogers went to St John's School, Leatherhead. Rogers did not excel academically, which made him believe that he was "stupid because he could not read or memorise his school work" and as a consequence, he said, he became "very depressed". He could not read until he was 11,{{cite web| url=http://www.nyc-architecture.com/ARCH/ARCH-ROGERS.htm| title=Richard Rogers| publisher=nyc-architecture.com| access-date=31 March 2006| archive-date=19 January 2013| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130119095220/http://nyc-architecture.com/ARCH/ARCH-ROGERS.htm| url-status=live}} and it was not until after he had his first child that Rogers realised he was dyslexic. After leaving St Johns School, he undertook a foundation course at Epsom School of Art{{Cite web|url=http://www.studiointernational.com/index.php/stirling-prize-for-architecture-2006--riba-uk-|title=Stirling Prize for Architecture 2006 (RIBA UK), Studio International|last=Spens|first=Michael|website=Studio International – Visual Arts, Design and Architecture|language=en-gb|access-date=7 June 2016|archive-date=27 April 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160427054751/http://www.studiointernational.com/index.php/stirling-prize-for-architecture-2006--riba-uk-|url-status=live}} (now the University for the Creative Arts) before going into National Service between 1951 and 1953.

He then attended the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London, where he gained the Architectural Association's Diploma (AA Dipl) from 1954 until 1959, subsequently graduating with a master's degree (M Arch) from the Yale School of Architecture in 1962 on a Fulbright Scholarship.{{cite web | url= http://dyslexia.yale.edu/rogers.html | title= Richard Rogers, Architect | publisher= Yale School of Medicine | access-date= 31 March 2016 | archive-date= 29 November 2014 | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20141129022546/http://dyslexia.yale.edu/rogers.html | url-status= live }}{{cite web | url=http://www.richardrogers.co.uk/render.aspx?siteID=1&navIDs=1,{{formatnum:518107}} | title=Richard Rogers | publisher=Richard Rogers Partnerships | access-date=31 July 2006 | archive-date=23 January 2018 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180123185228/http://www.richardrogers.co.uk/render.aspx?siteID=1&navIDs=1,%7B%7Bformatnum:518107%7D%7D | url-status=live }} While studying at Yale, Rogers met fellow architecture student Norman Foster and planning student Su Brumwell.{{Cite news|last=Green|first=Penelope|date=2021-12-18|title=Richard Rogers, Architect Behind Landmark Pompidou Center, Dies at 88|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/18/arts/design/richard-rogers-dead.html|access-date=2021-12-19|issn=0362-4331|archive-date=18 December 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211218231543/https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/18/arts/design/richard-rogers-dead.html|url-status=live}}

After leaving Yale he joined Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in New York City. On returning to England in 1963, he, Norman Foster and Brumwell set up architectural practice as Team 4 with Wendy Cheesman (Brumwell later married Rogers, Cheesman married Foster).Ian Lambot (Ed.), "Norman Foster: Buildings and Projects Volume 1 1964–1973", Watermark Publications (1991), pp. 14–15, {{ISBN|1-873200-01-3}}. Rogers and Foster earned a reputation for what was later termed by the media high-tech architecture.{{cite web|url=http://designmuseum.org/design/richard-rogers|publisher=Design Museum|title=Richard Rogers + Architects – From the House to the City|access-date=4 February 2014|archive-date=20 October 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101020005722/http://designmuseum.org/design/richard-rogers|url-status=dead}}

By 1967, Team 4 had split up, but Rogers continued to collaborate with Su Rogers, along with John Young and Laurie Abbott.{{cite web|url=http://www.rsh-p.com/Asp/uploadedFiles/Image/News/RR_pritzker.pdf|title=Richard Rogers, Pritzker Speech|publisher=Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners|access-date=11 July 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110715210750/http://www.rsh-p.com/Asp/uploadedFiles/Image/News/RR_pritzker.pdf|archive-date=15 July 2011}} In early 1968 he was commissioned to design a house and studio for Humphrey Spender near Maldon, Essex, a glass cube framed with I-beams. He continued to develop his ideas of prefabrication and structural simplicity to design a Wimbledon house for his parents. This was based on ideas from his conceptual Zip-Up House.{{cite web|url=http://www.centrepompidou.fr/education/ressources/ENS-Rogers-EN/ENS-Rogers-EN.html#beginnings|title=Richard Rogers: Beginnings|publisher=Pompidou Centre|access-date=23 October 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090424022301/http://www.centrepompidou.fr/education/ressources/ENS-Rogers-EN/ENS-Rogers-EN.html#beginnings|archive-date=24 April 2009}}

Rogers subsequently joined forces with Italian architect Renzo Piano, a partnership that was to prove fruitful. His career leapt forward when he, Piano and Gianfranco Franchini won the design competition for the Pompidou Centre in July 1971, alongside a team from Ove Arup that included Irish engineer Peter Rice.{{cite web|url=http://www.centrepompidou.fr/pompidou/Communication.nsf/0/B90DF3E7C7F18CAEC1256D970053FA6D?OpenDocument&sessionM=3.1.12&L=2 |publisher=Centre Pompidou website |title=Architecture of the Building |access-date=3 July 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081204030132/http://www.centrepompidou.fr/pompidou/Communication.nsf/0/B90DF3E7C7F18CAEC1256D970053FA6D?OpenDocument&sessionM=3.1.12&L=2 |archive-date=4 December 2008 }}

Later career

After working with Piano, Rogers established the Richard Rogers Partnership along with Marco Goldschmied, Mike Davies, and John Young in 1977.{{cite web|url= http://www.faqs.org/abstracts/Business-international/Competitively-speaking-a-born-organiser-Marco-Goldschmied-of-Richard-Rogers-Partnership-is-being-tip.html#ixzz0shxml2TU|title= Competitively speaking: a born organiser, Marco Goldschmied of Richard Rogers Partnership is being tipped as a possible future RIBA president|publisher= Advameg Inc.|access-date= 11 July 2010|archive-date= 18 January 2012|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120118033547/http://www.faqs.org/abstracts/Business-international/Competitively-speaking-a-born-organiser-Marco-Goldschmied-of-Richard-Rogers-Partnership-is-being-tip.html#ixzz0shxml2TU|url-status= live}} This became Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners in 2007. The firm maintains offices in London, Shanghai, and Sydney.{{Cite book|last=Christopher|first=David P.|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tmWhCAAAQBAJ&pg=PA221|title=British Culture: An Introduction|date=2015-04-24|publisher=Routledge|isbn=978-1-317-56948-0|pages=221|language=en}}

Rogers devoted much of his later career to wider issues surrounding architecture, urbanism, sustainability, and the ways in which cities are used. One early illustration of his thinking was an exhibition at the Royal Academy in 1986, entitled "London As It Could Be", which also featured the work of James Stirling and Rogers's former partner Norman Foster. This exhibition made public a series of proposals for transforming a large area of central London, subsequently dismissed as impractical by the city's authorities.{{Cite web|title='London as it could be' {{!}} Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners|url=https://archello.com/project/london-as-it-could-be|access-date=2021-12-19|website=Archello|language=en|archive-date=19 December 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211219171608/https://archello.com/project/london-as-it-could-be|url-status=live}}File:Pompidou center.jpg in Paris]]

In 1995, he became the first architect to deliver the BBC's annual Reith Lectures. This series of five talks, titled Sustainable City, were later adapted into the book Cities for a Small Planet (Faber and Faber: London 1997, {{ISBN|0-571-17993-2}}). The BBC made these lectures available to the public for download in July 2011.{{cite news | url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-13891740 | work=BBC News | title=BBC Radio 4 unveils 60 years of Reith Lectures archive | date=26 June 2011 | access-date=20 June 2018 | archive-date=4 September 2017 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170904150027/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-13891740 | url-status=live }}

In 1998, he set up the Urban Task Force at the invitation of the British government, to help identify causes of urban decline and establish a vision of safety, vitality, and beauty for Britain's cities.{{Cite web|title=Biography: Richard Rogers {{!}} The Pritzker Architecture Prize|url=https://www.pritzkerprize.com/biography-richard-rogers|access-date=2021-12-20|website=www.pritzkerprize.com|archive-date=19 December 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211219205820/https://www.pritzkerprize.com/biography-richard-rogers|url-status=live}} This work resulted in a white paper, Towards an Urban Renaissance, outlining recommendations for future city designers.{{Cite web|date=2002-07-21|title=Richard Rogers: Delivering the urban renaissance|url=http://www.theguardian.com/society/2002/jul/21/regeneration.comment|access-date=2021-12-20|website=The Guardian|language=en|archive-date=19 December 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211219195721/https://www.theguardian.com/society/2002/jul/21/regeneration.comment|url-status=live}} Rogers also served for several years as chair of the Greater London Authority panel for Architecture and Urbanism.{{Cite web|title=Life & Architectural Career of Richard Rogers – archisoup {{!}} Architecture Guides & Resources|date=14 January 2020|url=https://www.archisoup.com/richard-rogers-architectural-career|access-date=2021-12-20|language=en-US|archive-date=23 December 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201223031315/https://www.archisoup.com/richard-rogers-architectural-career|url-status=live}} He was chair of the board of Trustees of The Architecture Foundation.{{Cite web|title=Biography: Richard Rogers {{!}} The Pritzker Architecture Prize|url=https://www.pritzkerprize.com/biography-richard-rogers|access-date=2021-12-20|website=www.pritzkerprize.com}}{{Cite web|title=Life & Architectural Career of Richard Rogers – archisoup {{!}} Architecture Guides & Resources|date=14 January 2020|url=https://www.archisoup.com/richard-rogers-architectural-career|access-date=2021-12-20|language=en-US}}

From 2001 to 2008, he was chief advisor on architecture and urbanism to the then Mayor of London Ken Livingstone. In 2008, he was asked to continue on in his role as an advisor by the then new mayor Boris Johnson. He stood down from the post in October 2009.{{cite web|url=http://www.london.gov.uk/view_press_release.jsp?releaseid=23738|archive-url=https://archive.today/20110604031741/http://www.london.gov.uk/view_press_release.jsp?releaseid=23738|url-status=dead|archive-date=4 June 2011|title=Richard Rogers steps down as advisor to mayor|publisher=Mayor of London's office|access-date=1 November 2009}} Rogers also served as an advisor to two mayors of Barcelona on urban strategies.{{Cite web|last=2005-07-07T09:34:00+01:00|title=Lord Rogers: Barcelona set the standard|url=https://www.building.co.uk/news/lord-rogers-barcelona-set-the-standard/3053501.article|access-date=2021-12-19|website=Building|language=en|archive-date=26 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210126122641/https://www.building.co.uk/news/lord-rogers-barcelona-set-the-standard/3053501.article|url-status=live}}

Amidst this extra-curricular activity, Rogers continued to create controversial and iconic works. Perhaps the most famous of these, the Millennium Dome, was designed by the Rogers practice in conjunction with engineering firm Buro Happold and completed in 1999. It was the subject of fierce political and public debate over the cost and contents of the exhibition it contained; the building itself cost £43 million.{{cite web|url=http://www.richardrogers.co.uk/render.aspx?siteID=1&navIDs=1,4,25,661|title=Millennium Dome|publisher=RHSP|access-date=30 October 2009|archive-date=13 January 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090113174025/http://www.richardrogers.co.uk/render.aspx?siteID=1&navIDs=1,4,25,661|url-status=live}}

In May 2006, Rogers's practice was chosen as the architect of Tower 3 of the new World Trade Center in New York City, replacing the old World Trade Center which was destroyed in the September 11 attacks.{{Cite web|date=2018-06-12|title=Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners officially completes Three World Trade Center in New York City|url=https://www.dezeen.com/2018/06/12/rogers-stirk-harbour-partners-officially-completes-three-world-trade-center-in-new-york-city/|access-date=2021-12-19|website=Dezeen|language=en|archive-date=19 October 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211019231607/https://www.dezeen.com/2018/06/12/rogers-stirk-harbour-partners-officially-completes-three-world-trade-center-in-new-york-city/|url-status=live}}

Criticisms

Like Frank Lloyd Wright's and Le Corbusier's, some of Rogers's buildings have had problems resulting from their design. The Lloyds Buildings's much-vaunted design innovation of routing the service pipes outside the walls in fact led to such costs caused by weathering and maintenance that Lloyds considered vacating the building in 2014. Lloyds's former chief executive Richard Ward stated: "There is a fundamental problem with this building. Everything is exposed to the elements, and that makes it very costly."{{Cite web|date=2014-06-01|title=Lloyd's of London may quit Rogers building over design "frustrations"|url=https://www.dezeen.com/2014/06/01/lloyds-of-london-may-quit-richard-rogers-building-over-design-frustrations/|access-date=2022-01-18|website=Dezeen|language=en}}

In 2014 Rogers faced a £5m legal claim over problems at the Oxley Woods estate designed by the firm. Residents complained of water seepage through cladding panels and windows on the prefabricated terraced housing.{{Cite web|date=2014-10-07|title=Architect Richard Rogers faces £5m legal claim over leaky houses|url=http://www.theguardian.com/business/2014/oct/07/architect-richard-rogers-5m-legal-claim-leaky-houses-oxley-woods|access-date=2022-01-18|website=The Guardian|language=en}}

Palestine controversy

In February 2006, Rogers hosted the inaugural meeting of the campaigning organisation Architects and Planners for Justice in Palestine (APJP) in his London offices. At that time his practice had secured a number of projects in New York, including the redevelopment of the Silvercup Studios site, a masterplan for the East River Waterfront and a commission for a $1.7 billion expansion of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Centre in Manhattan. Rogers, however, publicly dissociated himself from the group within weeks, following an outcry from generally pro-Israeli New York voters and politicians, which threatened him with the loss of prestigious commissions including projects in New York and abroad.{{cite news | url=http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/news/2006/03/post_87.html | newspaper=The Guardian | location=London | title=Boiling point | date=9 March 2006 | access-date=22 May 2010 | archive-date=8 July 2012 | archive-url=https://archive.today/20120708120631/http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/news/2006/03/post_87.html | url-status=live }} He announced his withdrawal with the statement, "I unequivocally renounce Architects and Planners for Justice in Palestine and have withdrawn my relationship with them."{{cite news | url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2006/mar/09/usa.israel | newspaper=The Guardian | location=London | title=Israel-Palestine conflict engulfs Rogers's .7bn New York project | first=Oliver | last=Burkeman | date=9 March 2006 | access-date=22 May 2010 | archive-date=30 August 2013 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130830005733/http://www.theguardian.com/world/2006/mar/09/usa.israel | url-status=live }}

Rogers was married to Ruth Rogers, chef and owner of The River Café restaurant in west London.
