Building up to a role in the city's future?

Archiseek / UK / Scotland / News / 2004 / January 21

From Hong Kong to Gateshead, Singapore to Edinburgh, Sir Terry Farrell is a man who's made his mark on the world - literally. The Newcastle-born architect has created a style of building which is now synonymous with urban regeneration around the world. His landmark designs are wont to dominate any space they're constructed in - which is why, although he's award-winning, he hasn't escaped the "controversial" tag. Signature projects have included the MI6 headquarters, Charing Cross Station and the TV-AM building in London with its famous twin eggs, while elsewhere he's designed aquarium The Deep, in Hull, and the transportation centre for the international airport in Seoul for the last World Cup.
