Poor design, monotony and inhuman scale are, Roger argues, not the results of a lack of talent nor the failures of the Modern Movement, but of a surrender to exploitative economic systems and inconsiderate business interests.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Best known for his work on the Pompidou Centre in Paris, the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg and the Lloyd's building and Millennium Dome in London, Rogers was perhaps the most original and inventive architect of his time, and was a frequent commentator on the contemporary scene. As a practitioner, he was in the best position possible to appreciate how economic forces can create – or frustrate – good design. A succinct summary of his design philosophies, Richard Rogers on Modern Architecture continues to be a powerful manifesto.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55457943585141,"sku":"9780500029503","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9780500029503.jpg?v=1749110614","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9780500029503","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
