A compelling personal account of Terry Farrell's life in
architecture, as an influential Postmodern designer,
architect-planner and principal of a leading global practice. What
have the defining projects and watershed moments and encounters
been in Farrell's career? How has did he secure significant
building projects such as Charing Cross, The MI6 Building and
Beijing South Station? What have the highs and lows been in
realising such large-scale schemes? Providing the inside view of
what it is like to be an architect at the top of his profession,
this autobiography highlights what it takes to develop a successful
international practice. Farrell, alongside his High-Tech
contemporaries, was a game-changer in the way he ran his business,
with a deep commitment to marketing and finance. Working with the
private sector, he made a complete break from a previous post-war
generation of firms that were almost solely reliant on publicly
funded building programmes. Tracing the story of his early life
growing up in Greater Manchester and then on the post-war Grange
Estate in Newcastle, before attending Newcastle University and the
University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, and subsequently
setting up in practice in London with Sir Nicholas Grimshaw in
1965, it highlights how Farrell, despite his working-class
background, was able to seize the opportunities provided to him in
the 1950s through free access to education. Featuring a richly
illustrated full-colour section, including photos from his own
private collection and images of Farrell's most significant
buildings, this book is a window into the life and career of one of
Britain's leading architects.
