Richard Rogers RA is one the most successful and influential architects in the world, described by the Prime Minister as ‘one of Britain’s greatest ever exporters of ideas’. Through previously unseen original material, drawings and personal items, Inside Out celebrates Rogers’ beautifully made buildings and his pioneering spirit that continues to influence social policy and all areas of design. Highlighting Rogers’ unique attention to the ethic, aesthetic and political dimensions of architecture, it invites us to question the way we think about cities and how we live in them.
