Architects, not Architecture: Richard Rogers | Virtual Design Festival | Dezeen

In the second talk as part of our Virtual Design Festival collaboration with Architects, not Architecture, architect Richard Rogers discusses his reluctance to enter the Centre Pompidou competition and liking the Lloyd's building.
The idea behind Architects, not Architecture is for architects to discuss their path, influences and experiences.
In his lecture in November 2017, Rogers explained that he'd been told he couldn't use buildings for his talk, as the main rule of the series is that architects aren't allowed to discuss their projects.
"I said: That's like saying I can't use my two hands," Rogers said. "Architecture is part of me. And architecture is not just about buildings, it's about spaces and places."
Born in Florence, Rogers moved to England with his family and studied at the Architectural Association School in London, where he founded Richard Rogers Partnership with Su Rogers, now Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, in 1977.
