My first experience of Richard Rogers’s genius was as a teenager cycling through the deserted city of London late at night. Suddenly, I came across his incredible Lloyd’s building. Witnessing this structure bathed in glistening blue light, it felt like I had unexpectedly entered into my own science fiction film.
With most other new buildings, once you’d briefly looked at them, there was nothing more to engage your eye. But this was so complex and interesting that you could forever look at it and still see more details. Who had done this?
