LONDON.- One of the most influential British architects of our time, Richard Rogers has established himself and his practice at the forefront of todays architectural culture through such high-profile projects as the Pompidou Centre, the headquarters for Lloyds of London, the Millennium Dome, the National Assembly for Wales and Terminal 5 at Heathrow Airport.
Richard Rogers + Architects From the House to the City will present a detailed survey of Rogers work. This spans the early years with Norman and Wendy Foster and Su Rogers at Team 4 in the 1960s and designing the Pompidou Centre with Renzo Piano in the 1970s, to the establishment of Richard Rogers Partnership now Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners and the numerous projects designed by the practice and built throughout the world over the past four decades.
The projects are arranged in colour-coded sections, with each urban block evoking an architectural theme which examines a range of projects through new and archive models, photographs, drawings and films. In each thematic area Transparent, Legible, Green, Lightweight, Public, Urban and Systems projects that are particularly representative of that theme are explored. Rogers early career and influences are examined in an Early Work section, and current projects by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners are featured in a Work in Progress section.
Richard Rogers + Architects From the House to the City, designed by Ab Rogers Design, will appear in the museums first floor gallery, with additional installations in the Design Museum Tank, the café, and the ground floor atrium space.
Deyan Sudjic, Director of the Design Museum said: Richard Rogers has had the most remarkable career in British architecture. Beginning with an extraordinary family house in Cornwall, then changing the shape of post-war architecture with the Pompidou Centre, and now heading up an international office that is busier than ever. The Design Museum is delighted to stage this important exhibition, the first of Richard Rogers work in London since 1986.
Richard Rogers said: The Design Museum is part of contemporary Londons cultural revolution and one of my favourite museums. I am delighted that our work will be shown there.
Richard Rogers + Architects From the House to the City will visit the Design Museum as its first touring destination, having opened at the Pompidou Centre, Paris in 2007 to international acclaim.
