Richard Rogers, founder of Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, is a
pre-eminent architect of his generation, whose approach to buildings is
infused with his enthusiasm for modernism, love of life and strong sense
of social justice.
From the Pompidou Centre in Paris to the Lloyds Building in the City of
London, and from airports, to cancer care centres to low-cost homes, the
buildings he and his partners have designed blend private use, public
space and civic value.
In part inspired by his 2013 Royal Academy exhibition, A place for all
people is a mosaic of life, projects and ideas for a better society.
Ranging backwards and forwards over a long and creative life, and
integrating relationships, projects, stories, collaborations and
polemics, with case studies, drawings and photographs A place for all
people is a dazzling and inspiring book as original as its author.
