Terry Farrell (architect)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Terry Farrell (born 1939 in Sale, Lancashire but moving at an early age to Newcastle upon Tyne) is a leading English architect. His typical style is a combination of high tech and post-modernism. His buildings frequently include jokes that are a hallmark of post-modernism: in the TV-am building, the roof features painted egg cups, a reference not only to the building being used for breakfast tv, but also performing the function that urns would on a classical building.
Farrell graduated with a first class degree from University of Newcastle School of Architecture and founded his first practice in 1965.
