C20 is saddened to hear of the death of Sir Terry Farrell (1938-2025), an architect who traversed myriad styles - from Modernism to High-Tech and PoMo - and was a champion of conservation, urbanism and contextual design.
We’re raising a glass, or perhaps that should be a TV-am eggcup, in his honour.

The Society is saddened to hear of the death of Sir Nicholas Grimshaw (1939-2025). An inspirational architect and always a gentlemen, his buildings are beautiful, original and inventive solutions to elegantly analysed briefs. We can think of no finer tribute than listing his Waterloo Int. Terminal.

A scale model of what Brixton might have looked like with a motorway running through the middle, and some rather wonky blocks of flats, is the centrepiece of an exhibition about local urban planning.

The new free exhibition at Lambeth Archives looks at the ambitious world of Ted Hollamby's Department of Architecture and Planning, 1965-1980. Modernism, the future and architectural merit, open until the 26th.
A futuristic model of Lambeth with sweeping clean lines - the future as seen in the past of Waterloo.
