Sir Terry Farrell is one of the world's foremost architects and
urban planners. Through his imagination has been shaped and
inspired by the many cities where he has lived and worked, it is
London that he has become most closely associated with. During
forty years in practice, Farrell has transformed London's skyline
and animated the banks of the Thames with his Charing Cross Station
and M16 headquarters buildings. It is, though, through his
long-term involvement in London's urban planning - through specific
projects, as well as through advocacy and initiating public debate
- that Farrell has made his greatest contribution to this great
metropolis. He is currently the government champion for the
planning of the Thames Gateway Project and the Mayor's architecture
and planning lead for the Outer London Commission. He also works
with and for many London boroughs and for public and conservation
agencies such as English Heritage.
