He has been involved in the design of a number of prestigious UK and worldwide projects often on complex sites. In 2007 the name of the practice was changed in recognition of his and Ivan Harbour’s contributions. Graham – together with Ivan and Richard Rogers – drives the design direction of the practice and is evolving the practice’s language of design, to create sustainable and thought-provoking architecture for the future. His intellectually rigorous approach to the analysis and interpretation of a client brief and site informs the process and form of architecture to create functional, flexible and elegant buildings and spaces Graham has brought innovative, rational and clear design leadership to many of the practice’s high profile projects including: an expansion to the Lloyd’s Register Headquarters in London; 88 Wood Street, a speculative office development in the City of London; Bodegas Protos,a winery in Peñafiel, Spain (all shortlisted for the Stirling Prize – 2000, 2001 and 2009 respectively); a 48-storey office tower – the Leadenhall Building – in the City of London; NEO Bankside, 229 residential units in London, next to Tate Modern; One Hyde Park, a new high-end residential development in Knightsbridge; (both currently under construction) and an extension for The British Museum to provide a flexible series of exhibition and conservation spaces which will support a wide range of Museum activities, due to open in 2013.

  • Introduction Association (AA) School Where She Was Awarded the Diploma Prize in 1977
    Studio London Zaha Hadid, founder of Zaha Hadid Architects, was awarded the Pritzker 10 Bowling Green Lane Architecture Prize (considered to be the Nobel Prize of architecture) in 2004 and London EC1R 0BQ is internationally known for her built, theoretical and academic work. Each of T +44 20 7253 5147 her dynamic and pioneering projects builds on over thirty years of exploration F +44 20 7251 8322 and research in the interrelated fields of urbanism, architecture and design. [email protected] www.zaha-hadid.com Born in Baghdad, Iraq in 1950, Hadid studied mathematics at the American University of Beirut before moving to London in 1972 to attend the Architectural Introduction Association (AA) School where she was awarded the Diploma Prize in 1977. She founded Zaha Hadid Architects in 1979 and completed her first building, the Vitra Fire Station, Germany in 1993. Hadid taught at the AA School until 1987 and has since held numerous chairs and guest professorships at universities around the world. She is currently a professor at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna and visiting professor of Architectural Design at Yale University. Working with senior office partner, Patrik Schumacher, Hadid’s interest lies in the rigorous interface between architecture, landscape, and geology as her practice integrates natural topography and human-made systems, leading to innovation with new technologies. The MAXXI: National Museum of 21st Century Arts in Rome, Italy and the London Aquatics Centre for the 2012 Olympic Games are excellent manifestos of Hadid’s quest for complex, fluid space. Previous seminal buildings such as the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati and the Guangzhou Opera House in China have also been hailed as architecture that transforms our ideas of the future with new spatial concepts and dynamic, visionary forms.

  • A: Chris Loyn
    Architect Q&A: Chris Loyn Having worked from a provincial town near Cardiff for nearly three decades, Welsh architect Chris Loynhas recently achieved extraordinary things. His firm Loyn & Co Architects has garnered international recognition for its published projects and gives a rare and valuable insight into the latest thoughts, philosophies, and practices in design. Chris Loyn spoke to Luxury Defined about his life’s work and the influences that underpin both his and his firm’s success. What was your earliest encounter with architecture? One of my earliest memories is that of a bedroom extension at my parents’ home in Cardiff during the early 1960s. A Victorian porch was replaced with a two-story, flat-roofed “cube.” I was fascinated with the scale of the change. Not only did it create a new bedroom and other accommodation, but also (unofficially) a space on the flat roof above it that you could access by climbing through a loft window. Sitting there, you could watch the world go by. Today, my office is in a large Victorian property that we extended and where you can sit (officially) on the roof, just like I did all those years ago. When and why did you set up Loyn & Co? I set up in practice in 1987 two years after my first son, Seb, was born. In 1989, my second son Jack had a brain haemorrhage at two weeks old. As a result he is severely disabled and has cerebral palsy. I wanted to be around both my children and my wife, so continuing to work at home was the perfect solution.

  • Press Release Bloomberg Wins RIBA Stirling Prize 2018
    Press release 11 October 2018 Bloomberg wins RIBA Stirling Prize 2018 Bloomberg’s new European headquarters, located in the heart of the City of London, has been awarded the Stirling Prize 2018. At the televised award ceremony in London, the judges called the building a “once-in-a-generation project”, that has “not just raised the bar for office design and city planning but smashed the ceiling.” The spirit of innovation and collaboration that underpins the building was led by the vision of Mike Bloomberg, Founder of Bloomberg L.P. and Bloomberg Philanthropies, who said: "When we embarked on this project, we wanted to create a cutting-edge design that would push the boundaries of what an office building could be, which meant setting new standards for openness and sustainability. At the same time, we wanted to honor London's history and contribute to its vitality. We knew that if we could achieve both objectives, we'd have a building that would inspire everyone who set foot inside it. This prize indicates that -- thanks to the brilliant Norman Foster -- we succeeded. And we're grateful to everyone who worked so hard to bring it to life." Foster + Partners also gains the distinction of being the first practice to have been awarded the Stirling Prize three times, having won it previously in 1998 for the American Air Museum in Duxford, and in 2004 for 30 St Mary Axe. "From our first discussions to the final details of the project, Mike Bloomberg and I had a ‘meeting of minds’ on every aspect of the project – its sustainable focus, commitment to innovation and drive to create the best workplace for Bloomberg employees.
