    20. Sir Terry Farrell

    Sir Terry Farrell is one of the UK’s leading architect-planners. During fifty years in practice he has completed many award-winning buildings and masterplans, including the MI6 Building, Alban Gate, Embankment Place and The Home Office Headquarters in London as well as millennium projects, such as The Deep in Hull, and UK masterplans including those for Greenwich Peninsula and Paddington Basin. Notable projects in East Asia include Incheon airport in Seoul, Beijing Station and Guangzhou Station in China (the largest in the world), and the Peak Tower and Kowloon Station development, both in Hong Kong. Farrell has longstanding connections to Newcastle. He grew up in the city and studied at Newcastle University (1956–61). He produced the masterplan for regenerating the quayside in the early 1990s, and has since undertaken several major projects in the city, including the Centre for Life (2000), the Newcastle University campus masterplan (2004) and the extension to the Great North Museum (2009). In 2018, Farrell generously donated his practice archive to Newcastle University as a resource for research and public engagement. At the same time, he agreed to give £1 million towards the creation of the Farrell Centre as an ‘urban room’ focused on Tyneside which would also contribute to broader national and international debates around architecture and cities and the future of how we live. Sir Terry Farrell stepped back from the practice he founded in 1965 – known today as Farrells – in 2019.

"From ground-breaking exhibitions, through low-carbon buildings, to pioneering urban strategy, our projects intervene both socially and spatially to deliver a more sustainable and more equitable world."

    13. Fergus Feilden

    Fergus Feilden is director of Feilden Fowles – an award-winning, London-based architecture studio, which he founded with Edmund Foyles in 2009 following their first project, Ty Pren, a passive long-house in the Brecon Beacons. Today, Feilden Fowles deliver a range of buildings across the UK, producing architecture that is rich in character and distinct in identity. The practice’s approach is both academic and hands-on; they engage in contextual research while exploring materiality and craft through large-scale prototypes and models. Projects are underpinned by a strategy of longevity over short-termism, using robust yet adaptable structures and simple but beautiful materials. Fergus is currently working on projects with clients such as the National Trust, TfL, the Science Museum Group and Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Feilden Fowles was shortlisted for the Stirling Prize in 2019, was named BD Young Architect of the Year 2016 and has received numerous RIBA and Civic Trust awards.
