Terry Farrell: Design Tsar Chosen
picture © Adrian Welch
Sir Terry began his new role as Edinburgh’s ‘design champion’ on 03.02.04 by calling for a rethink of the city’s streetscape.
Terry Farrell – architect of some major Edinburgh projects – to be
‘figurehead for the city’s attempts to improve new architecture’:
Riccardo Marini announced as Sir Terry Farrell’s (Design Champion) officer
05.02.04; 20.01.04.
Sir Terry Farrell, CBE, RIBA, FRSA, FCSD, MRTPI (born 12 May 1938) is a British architect and urban designer. In 1980, after working 15 years in partnership with Sir Nicholas Grimshaw, Farrell founded his own firm, Farrells. He garnered a strong reputation for contextual urban design schemes, as well as exuberant works of postmodernism such as the MI6 building.
In 1991 his practice expanded internationally, opening an office in Hong Kong. In Asia his firm designed KK100 in Shenzhen, the tallest building ever designed by a British architect, as well as Guangzhou South Railway Station, once the largest railway station in Asia.
Farrell is a prominent voice in British architecture and planning. At the 2013 invitation of Ed Vaizey, the Minister for Culture, Communications and Creative Industries, his firm commenced the Farrell Review of Architecture and the Built Environment meant to offer expert guidance on the direction of British architecture.
