Sir Terry Farrell CBE is considered to be the UK’s leading architect planner, with offices in London, Hong Kong and Shanghai.

During 40 years in practice he has completed many award-winning buildings including Embankment Place and The Home Office Headquarters as well as millennium projects such as The Deep in Hull and Centre for Life in Newcastle and masterplans including Greenwich Peninsula, Paddington Basin, Newcastle Quayside and Brindleyplace. In East Asia, notable projects include Incheon airport in Seoul, Beijing Station and Guangzhou High Speed Station in China (the largest in the world) and high rise KK100 (the tallest building by a UK architect).

He was invited by the Architecture Minister, Ed Vaizey MP, to lead a new, independent Review of Architecture and the Built Environment in 2013. He has been the Mayor of London’s Design Advisor and advises the Department for Transport on high speed rail. He is Design Champion for the Thames Gateway, Europe’s largest regeneration project, where he worked for the past decade. As recognition of this, in 2013 he was voted the individual who made the Greatest Contribution to London’s Planning and Development over the last 10 years, awarded by the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson.
