Richard Rogers: Talking Buildings at Sir John Soames's Museum with son Ab Rogers

BGUK_3273793 - ‘Iconic’ is an overused adjective, but it still holds true about the remarkable work of Richard Rogers (1933 – 2021). From the Centre Pompidou in Paris, to London’s Lloyds Building and the Millennium Dome, Rogers’ signature style has created genuine landmarks in cities around the world. This summer (18 June -21 September 2025) Sir John Soane’s Museum will present the UK’s first retrospective survey of Richard Rogers’ life and work since his death in 2021, with an exhibition focusing on the visionary architect’s eight favourite projects from 1967 to 2020: including the Zip-Up House, the Centre Pompidou, Lloyd’s of London and the Millennium Dome. Richard Rogers: Talking Buildings (18 June – 21 September 2025) is designed and curated by Richard’s son, Ab. Featuring drawings, films and his trademark, highly coloured Perspex models, Talking Buildings creates a vivid and immersive portrait of Rogers, not least as an architect who never stopped developing his social, environmental, ethical and political passions and for whom buildings were the physical manifestation of his beliefs.
